No mother is perfect – not even the royal ones!
On Tuesday, Kate Middleton adorably revealed during an outing in Cumbria, England, that she isn’t the best hairstylist to her daughter Charlotte!
The mother-of-three, 37, told a young girl and her family during a visit to the Deephale Farm in Patterdale, that it didn’t go very well when she tried to braid her 4-year-old daughter Princess Charlotte‘s hair.

But, that didn’t stop the Duchess of Cambridge from admiring the blonde girls’ “plaits.”
“I love your plaits,” she said. “They’re so pretty.”
“I tried to do a plait with Charlotte this morning but it didn’t work very well,” she added. “You look very smart. You look lovely.”
