The relationship between royal sisters-in-law Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle [1] has been in the news quite a bit lately, and coverage seems to be overwhelmingly centred on their differences (by the way, have you heard that Meghan is different from Kate [2]?). Even if the duchesses don't always see eye to eye — which is pretty normal, with them being different people and all — it's way more fun to focus on the interests they share (tennis, anyone [3]?) and the traits they have in common . . . especially when it comes to children.
Even before she had three little royals of her own [4], Kate has always seemed especially excited and engaged when greeting and interacting with kids [5]. She's shared many sweet moments with young fans, both on outings with William [6] and during solo occasions [7]. Likewise, Meghan is also racking up a considerable amount of adorable connections with kids [8] — and judging by how patient and at ease she looks when meeting them, there's no doubt she'll be a great mum herself [9]. Keep reading for the best photos of both Meghan and Kate with kids. I think we can all agree on how cute they are.
