The Duchess said to Hailey when she handed her the bears, according to The Telegraph: “Thank you so much, Charlotte will love this, she loves her teddies.”

Prince William added: “George too, he’s a big fan, thank you so much. You’re all such well behaved children. I’m so impressed!”

Hailey’s mother was 17 was she was born, but she lost custody of her daughter due to alcohol abuse, The Mirror reported.

However the five-year-old and her mother were reunited when Hailey was three and her mum had overcome her problems.
