With two young children at home, she's probably well used to all the singing and dancing that goes into keeping youngsters entertained. 

And today the Duchess of Cambridge put those skills to good use as she performed a 'wiggle' dance move during a communications training session with paramedics at Coventry University. 

Kate, 36, who was visiting the city with the Duke of Cambridge, proved she was a good sport as she joined in with the session, although William looked a little more reluctant than his wife.

After arriving, unusually, by train on Tuesday morning, accompanied by a small entourage, the pair arrived at their first engagement at Coventry Cathedral to cheers from hundreds of flag-waving schoolchildren.

There they were presented with a note from a little girl in the crowd, which read: 'If you weren't royals what would be your dream job? When George and Charlotte grow up, what would you like them to achieve?' 

The Duchess also came to the rescue of a 10-year-old boy who felt unwell after waiting three hours in the cold to catch a glimpse of the royal.

When she spotted that he was not well, the soon-to-be mother of three turned to one of her police protection officers, who came to the rescue with a brown paper bag.

'Princess Kate came over and give him a sickbag, our little Craig,' said Carole Flynn, a learning mentor at the school. 'I think he was a little bit overcome.'

The Duchess had met Craig Skipper, a pupil at Corpus Christi primary school, during the royal couple's walkabout outside Coventry Cathedral.

Ms Flynn said: 'He went quite pale. She came over to speak to him, and noticed he was not very well. She asked if he was OK. She bent down, and was concerned.

The duchess then went over to talk to one of her police bodyguards, and came back with a brown paper bag of the type used by cafes for takeaway coffee and sandwiches. 

'It was lovely of her,' said Ms Flynn. 'She really took time with him. You can tell she is a mum, and has got that caring side.'

Fortunately the bag turned out not to be necessary. 'He is a little bit better now,' said Ms Flynn.

Mother-to-be Kate looked radiant on Tuesday, stepping out in a bright pink Mulberry coat she previously wore twice during her pregnancy with Princess Charlotte - once on a visit to the 9/11 memorial in New York in December 2014, then again at the Stephen Lawrence Centre in Deptford in March 2015 - her final engagement before giving birth in May.
