With countless events on their calendars each year that put them face to face with the public, the royal family is well-trained in casual conversation. And since Kate Middleton is one of the fan favourites, she's even more adept at navigating those seemingly mind-numbing situations with what appears to be genuine enthusiasm.
Somehow she makes fans feel special by exchanging quick pleasantries ("Lovely to meet you!"), asking simple questions ("What's your name?"), and graciously accepting gifts ("Did you make this?") during quick walkabouts and on overseas tour stops. It's one of Kate's many talents and certainly one aspect of her job that sounds exhausting (I can only chat about the weather so much before I'm bored myself). Trust us, you'll be impressed with her small-talk skills after you watch her interactions with excited commoners.
