The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have clearly been missing
their children Prince George and Princess Charlotte, as they continue
their first royal tour to India and Nepal. The couple have been forced
to leave their children at home due to their hectic schedule which
includes 22 engagements in just seven days.
And after four days away, Kate admitted that she was
'terribly missing' the children but revealed that Prince George was 'too
naughty' to bring on the trip as he 'would be running all over the
place'.
It probably explains why the couple found themselves so
captivated by another cheeky toddler who they watched dancing at a
fireside festival during a visit to a nearby local community in Pan Bari
Villag, beginning the third leg of their India visit at a Bihu festival
in the Kaziranga National Park in Assam this evening.

William affectionately greeted the young boy with palms folded in a
traditional Namaste. But the mischievous three-year-old, who was
participating in a traditional performance of the Bihu dance, staged in
honour of the royals, had the couple in a fit of giggles as he playfully
tried to stamp on their feet.
The Duke and Duchess were entranced by the youngster,
pointing him out in the group of dancers and drummers. Prince William
tried to attract his attention, but the child quickly clung to his
mother.
Watching the traditional dance performance the Duchess said the little girls reminded her of 11-month-old Princess Charlotte Mail Online
reports. She told the villagers she was 'feeling sad today' because she
is missing her children adding: "The next time we come, we will
definitely bring them."
