The Duchess of Cambridge beat out a festive rhythm when she joined a group of youngsters for a drumming workshop at a children’s mental health centre. She was thrown in at the deep end but I gave her a few clues, hand signals.
She also revealed for the first time that she supports Chelsea FC, high-fiving one boy who said he followed the Premier League champions. A columnist for The Guardian said, “To put it kindly, it was one of the most risible and childish pieces of journalism I’ve ever read, even by the low standards of royal ‘reporting.’ But it was also unnecessarily personal and nasty”. He added that if he got some sleep before Christmas, it would be good.
Kate Middleton dressed in the Christmas spirit Tuesday while attending a Christmas party at a children’s hospital.
At one table the Duchess was given a high-five by Rjay Bryan, aged eight, when the pair found out they supported the same football team.
Kate Middleton is no frumpy stay-at-home mom according to her royal hairdresser.
Currently, the Anna Freud Centre is developing a new national centre of excellence near Kings Cross to bring together expert researchers and practitioners in the field of child mental health.
It turned out that the “William and Kate” who were stuffing their baskets with toys and other holiday goodies were not the real Duke and Duchess of Cambridge but rather professional actors Simon Watkinson and Heidi Aga who could serve as their dopplegangers.
Peter Fonagy, chief executive of the Anna Freud Centre and a professor of child mental health at University College London, said: “Someone like her being interested in children with emotional and behavioural issues is unprecedented”.
“It is of enormous importance to us who work in the field, it is of enormous importance to the people who try and deal with these problems day in and day out”.
Rjay, who was excluded from primary school when he was six, is about to return to mainstream school after a successful spell at the centre’s pioneering family school.
