  • The duchess showed support for Tiny Happy People, BBC's online education initiative for young families

Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton joked earlier this week that she feels like a “feeding machine” as her three children are always on the lookout for food.

During an interview on “BBC Breakfast” on Tuesday, Middleton revealed that her three children — Prince George, 6, Princess Charlotte, 5, and Prince Louis, 2 — seem to always be looking forward to meals.

“My children have bottomless pits,” the duchess joked while talking to parents of toddlers in the grounds of Sandringham House, Norfolk (via Daily Mail). “I feel like a constant feeding machine.”

The royal, who is married to Prince William, made an appearance on the program in support of Tiny Happy People, BBC's online education initiative for young families.

During their chat, Middleton also opened up about her youngest son and said he was struggling with the concept of social distancing.

“I was just saying, Louis doesn't understand social distancing, so he goes out wanting to cuddle everything, particularly any babies younger than him,” the Duchess of Cambridge said.

Middleton had earlier talked about the challenges of keeping her kids inside during the lockdown and the stress of homeschooling their two eldest children at their Sandringham country estate, Anmer Hall.

Talking about her children’s stamina, Middleton said in an interview with BBC in April that it’s amazing how much one can do in a day.

“So, you pitch a tent, take the tent down again, cook, bake,” she said. “You get to the end of the day — they have had a lovely time — but it is amazing how much you can cram into one day, that's for sure.”

Prince George and Princess Charlotte attended Thomas's Battersea before their school was closed down due to the coronavirus outbreak.

In the same interview, Middleton also said that like lots of families self-isolating, they too have experienced the ups and downs of being under lockdown.

The mom-of-three also touched on this topic while leading a virtual lesson for the Oak National Academy. an online classroom and resource hub created by teachers. Middleton emphasized that it was necessary to be kind to one another during these difficult times.

She also acknowledged that the huge range of emotions people are feeling at the moment is normal.

“Talking to someone, whether it's a friend, family member or teacher, is something you can do to make yourself feel that little bit better,” she said.
