21 candid, goofy photos of royals meeting kids

Members of the royal family seem to love kids.

Queen Elizabeth received flowers from a child during a visit to the Scottish Seabird Center in 2009, in North Berwick, Scotland.

Meeting them is pretty much part of the job description.

Kate Middleton greeted children after attending the Commonwealth Service at Westminster Abbey in London in 2018.

They're patrons of many charities that help children and their families.

Kate laughed with children during a meeting of the Charities Forum at BAFTA in London in 2015.

Kate in particular focuses on mental health in children and parents.

Kate said hello to Diane Leach and her daughter Tilly as she arrived for a visit to the Pegasus Primary School in Oxford in 2018.

As a mother of three herself, she knows how to put kids at ease.

Kate helped a blindfolded boy ice a cake as she promotes disability awareness at a Poplar Beaver Scout Colony in London in 2014, in east London, England.

Prince William does too.

William gestured to his teeth as he met a 7-year-old patient while discussing her missing front tooth and broken arm at Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital in 2016.

He's more into high fives than handshakes when meeting young fans.

William gave an 11-year-old girl a high five during his visit to Kingshurst Sporting FC in 2009.

He can even give a bunch of high fives at once.

William high fived local children during a visit to Stirling Castle in Scotland in 2016.

He enjoys playing sports with them.

William played soccer with pupils at a local school in the old quarter of Hanoi, Vietnam, in 2016.

And joining in on team huddles.

William joined soccer practice with the Wildcats Girls' soccer program during a reception at Kensington Palace in 2017.

Kids have a way of being wise beyond their years, like when a 12-year-old boy showed Queen Elizabeth how to use a tablet in 2012.

Queen Elizabeth was presented with a tablet computer by a 12-year-old admirer during her visit to the Royal Commonwealth Society in 2012.

And when visiting other countries, they show royals how to partake in traditional greetings.

Kate received a traditional Maori welcome called a "hongi" from a local 5-year-old in Dunedin, New Zealand, in 2014.

Prince Harry seems to really love kids.

Harry reacted with a silly face when a young girl stole some of his popcorn at the 2017 Invictus Games in Toronto, Canada.

He gets on their level.

Harry talks to children, including one dressed as Spider Man, at a tea party for children of fallen soldiers at Buckingham Palace in 2017.

And doesn't mind playing in the dirt.

Harry played with a child at the Lesotho Child Counselling Unit (LCCU) in 2008.

Kids seem to like him, too.

A group of childen pushed Harry on a swing with children at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London in 2014.

Meghan Markle is also great with kids.

Meghan was enveloped in a group hug at a street dance class in Cardiff, Wales, in 2018.

When she was a working royal, she had no problem giving out hugs on royal engagements.

Meghan hugged a 10-year-old girl who said she wants to be an actress as she and Harry arrived in Birmingham, England, in 2018.

The Queen tended to keep her distance a little more.

Queen Elizabeth accepted flowers from children in Berlin during her state visit to Germany in 2015.

But she still knew how to have fun.

Queen Elizabeth received a garland of flowers in Maidstone, England, in 2011.

She made kids feel like royalty themselves.

Queen Elizabeth greeted an 8-year-old patient wearing a tiara at the Children's National Medical Center in Washington, DC, in 2007.
