The Princess of Wales launches Christmas Baby Banks initiative

Our experiences, relationships and surroundings during early childhood lay foundations that shape the rest of our lives, and future society. Supporting parents and carers, who are doing their best to provide for their families in challenging circumstances is essential and can have a life-changing impact.

Baby Banks are warm, caring places for families to access equipment, products, clothes and toys to help relieve some of the stresses creating significant pressures on people caring for babies and young children.

Those children are so well behaved and polite, a credit to their parents. They get stuck in and Catherine explains what it's for and why it's important. It looks like they brought donations from home too. How worthwhile.

I'm an American and I must say, the Wales family are a breath of fresh air.

I really love how George and Charlotte and Louis work together to help their mother pack and carry things! It's very rare for me to see something like this! And the first time I saw this video, I feel extraordinary closeness and warmth in the Welsh family ❤ thanks for sharing this video!

This is so wonderful. Catherine teaching her children at a young age to give back. I love that they took boxes out of their car to give as well.

Love how “ George wants to come back”! Yes momma, train them to serve and care about others!

What a wonderful mother teaching her children the value of giving back to others and recognizing those in need. There is not a greater gift than compassion for others, and while I am sure Catherine and William teach many private lessons on selflessness at home, it is good to see George, Charlotte and Louis in action. No doubt these children will live lives of service and respect for all.

I'm a Brazilian living in the USA, I have no connections to the UK, But I think the British Monarchy is such a gift, specially this family! The way they support charities, highlight problems without any political dog in the race warms my heart. Thank you to the Wales Family and for those who volunteer around the world

This is what the late Princess of Wales used to do: bring the children with her, let them experience and make them understand. I'm so touched to see the Wales children there with Princess Catherine continuing this line of service and duty.

Catherine is a great teacher to her children…simple as that! Just having them aware of other human beings, like themselves.

[EagleFighterJet]

The fact that the children behave so well and so politely is all due to their parents.

Seriously impress by the Wales children knuckling down and helping sorting the mound of donation, I am sure the parcels are going to bring much joy to the recipients 🥰

So lovely to see the bond between Catherine and her children and them all doing their bit for those less fortunate. God bless them.

Got very emotional watching how down to earth the Wales family are. Catherine PRINCESS of Wales emits beauty from within.
The interactions between herself the children, and the people surrounding her
Is genuine and regal.

Thank you Baby Banks for everything you do.💛 Thank you, Princess of Wales, for giving your support to this organization and continuing the cycle of volunteering. Bring your children to volunteer will help them in their conviction to volunteer and will hopefully inspire others to also volunteer and give. Thank you.

[ionecuff]

That is REAL parenting. Teaching your children compassion, humility, generosity, love, giving, and always remembering that not everyone is as blessed as you. May God continue blessing and protecting them all.
