Kate Middleton Braided a Young Girl's Hair Today, and We Hope Princess Charlotte's Not Mad

Kate Middleton showed off her superior mom skills today in Northern Ireland and proved she’s a pro hairstylist (which makes complete sense considering her signature bouncy blowouts).

The duchess was asked to braid a young girl’s hair while visiting Cinemagic, a charity that uses film, television and digital technologies to help improve young kids’ lives…and where was she when we were Princess Charlotte’s age?

She can even carry on a convo with kids while finishing this complicated plait. Beat that, ponytail-loving Prince Harry!

Kensington Palace revealed that Middleton was helping with part of a makeup demonstration and storyboard masterclass with children from Malvern Primary School. The royal couple arrived in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, and greeted fans outside. The duchess stunned in a light-blue Mulberry coat over a royal blue custom Jenny Packham dress and Princess Diana’s heirloom sapphire earrings.

William and Kate embarked on a two-day royal tour of Northern Ireland on Wednesday. After an athletic day of soccer, canoeing and archery yesterday, the couple did a quick outfit change, then served beer at the Empire Music Hall in Belfast.

Is there a trophy for most talented (and energetic) members of the royal family? Kate and Will have this in the bag.
