Apparently, parenting wasn’t always a royal flush for Prince William. During a visit to the Hornsey Road Children’s Centre in London on Tuesday, Kate Middleton reportedly told another parent that it took some time for her husband to get used to being a dad after Prince George was born, in July 2013.

Billy, a single dad who is raising his seven-month-old daughter, Violet, by himself, told British magazine Hello! that the duchess of Cambridge gave him some helpful reassurance after he spoke to her about his struggles with early fatherhood. “She was saying William was sort of similar, and I just wanted to let her know how Family Action have been there for me and I think they need more support,” he said. (Family Action is a U.K.-based organization that provides financial and emotional support to families in need, and works closely with the Children’s Centre.)

Another parent who spoke to Princess Kate at the Hornsey Road Children’s Centre told Hello! about her own down-to-earth interaction with the royal, who is expecting her third child in April. “She was asking about what [my son] liked, and he said he liked airplanes, and she was asking if he’d seen a Spitfire, and we said we liked going to the Science Museum and RAF museum,” Michelle, a mother of two, said. “She was saying how George likes helicopters, she was saying about the top floor of the Science Museum where the helicopters are.”

Middleton also opened up about two-year-old Princess Charlotte‘s interests while accepting a bouquet of flowers from six-year-old Nevaeh Richardson-Natiko, according to People. “She asked me what my favorite color is,” Richardson-Natiko said. “I said it was pink, and she said that’s Charlotte’s favorite color too.”

The duchess had to cancel several public appearances recently due to hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of morning sickness that she also experienced during her first two pregnancies and which forced her to announce her third pregnancy somewhat early. But in recent weeks she has resumed her normal activities, hosting a Buckingham Palace reception honoring workers in the mental health field, alongside princes William and Harry; spent a day at London’s National Tennis Centre; and, best of all, danced with Paddington Bear at a children’s charity event.
