Kate has previously spoken very friendly of her late grandmother Valerie, who passed away in 2006.
During an interview on the Happy Mum, Happy Baby earlier this year, Kate said aspires to be like her.
She said: “I had an amazing granny who devoted a lot of time to us, playing with us, doing arts and crafts and going to the greenhouse to do gardening, and cooking with us.
“And I try and incorporate a lot of the experiences that she gave us at the time into the experiences that I give my children now.”
