While talking with the crowd, Kate gave a generous and rare update on baby Prince Louis, who is nine months old now and will turn one in April this year. He has hit a major milestone, the Duchess of Cambridge revealed, telling attendees that “Louis is a fast crawler,” which means he'll be walking soon enough. Royal photographer Mark Stewart, who was at the event, reported the exchange:

Kate last gave an update about her children, including Louis's older brother and sister George and Charlotte, at the end of November during her walkabout in Leicester. "They’re doing well, thank you," she said to someone who asked about them. "They’re getting excited for Christmas time because they’ve started all their Christmas songs and Christmas trees are going up. It was really sweet. And Louis’s getting big. I can’t believe he’s like seven months now. He’s getting to be a big boy." The last good glimpse of Louis, by the way, was in Prince Charles's birthday portraits:

Kate's next event has not been announced yet, but for the rest of this week, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will be doing events, both individually and together. Meghan's first event will be on Wednesday when she goes to the National Theatre, one of her newly-announced patronages. On Thursday, she'll visit the Association of Commonwealth Universities, the last of her four patronages she's visiting, where she'll "meet students and academics from across the ACU’s network of 500 university members," the Palace wrote.

Meghan and Harry will then visit Bristol on Friday, where they'll "meet members of the public, learn more about the city’s rich cultural history, and visit organizations supporting communities most in need," according to the Palace.
