Kate Middleton conducted a Sandringham walkabout today (September 15) with her husband Prince William.
The Prince and Princess of Wales headed to the Norfolk estate, close to their former Anmer Hall home, after lunch.
The royal couple – much loved by the British public – looked at floral tributes and then greeted well-wishers.
However, while there talking to royal fans, the Princess of Wales made a sad confession following the passing of the Queen.

And one person in the crowd revealed Kate admitted she feared she would burst into tears during the outing.
