Prince Louisis keeping momKate Middletonon her toes!
In honor of the publication ofHold Still: A Portrait of Our Nation in 2020on Friday, Kensington Palace shared Kate’s August phone call with 4-year-old Mila, who appeared in the image “Shielding Mila” and had to isolate away from her father and big sister last year while she was receiving chemotherapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
“I know all your kids' names,” Mila told Kate during the chat.
“Do you?” Kate replied. “What are their names — can you remember?”
Mila correctly identifiedPrince George,Princess CharlotteandPrince Louis, to which Kate gave an impressed cheer.
Kate went on to talk about her youngest child, who celebrated his third birthday on April 23.
“Louis has gotten so big now — he’s very quick running around,” the royal mom said. “And he’s on his little scooter as well. He’s very quick. I can’t keep up with him!”

Mila shared that she also liked to play on her scooter, but she said her favorite activity was walking her dog, Mr. Cole.
Kate was seen chasing afterPrince Louisin a rare video showing life at home with the Cambridge family that was shared in honor of Kate andPrince William’s 10th wedding anniversary last week.
In addition to speaking about the poignant photograph, Mila had a big question to ask the Duchess of Cambridge: “Do you have a costume?”
“I’m not wearing a princess costume right now, I’m afraid, Mila,” Kate said.
After learning that Mila liked to play dress-up and that her favorite color was pink, Kate made her a promise: “I have to make sure I go and try to find myself a pink dress. Hopefully, when one day, hopefully, Mila, we’ll get to meet, and then I’ll remember to wear my pink dress for you.”
“Yay!” an excited Mila exclaimed.
“Would that be nice?” Kate said.
More conversations between Kate andHold Stillparticipants are set to be released in coming weeks.
