&#8216;<\/p>\n<p>George and Charlotte can also be seen handwriting notes for the gift bags.<\/p>\n<p>A quarter of families with a child under five years of age live in poverty in the UK, according to the Department of Work and Pensions &#8211; meaning that baby banks\u00a0have become a sad necessity of life for many and provide a vital lifeline in challenging circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>The Bank at Windsor has been making up gift bags for children for the past five years and this Christmas will distribute 1,500 of them, as well as their usual parcels of clothes and goods.<\/p>\n<p>The royal youngsters then turn their hand to sorting through clothing donations.<\/p>\n<p>The Princess tells her children: &#8216;All these bags are donations and then we have to go and sort them and put them in all the boxes. &#8216;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Do you like this one?&#8217; Charlotte is asked by a team member. &#8216;Yeah!&#8217; she says.<\/p>\n<p>George holds up a Hawaiian-print shirt to add to his bundle, as Louis helps examine a label on green toy to make sure it is suitable for children.<\/p>\n<p>Charlotte gets the giggles at a tiny baby-gro with little emblems on it: &#8216;This is Welsh,&#8217; she says excitedly.<\/p>\n<p>One staff member can be heard saying: &#8216;George wants to come back, which is good.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Putting her arm around her eldest son&#8217;s shoulders, Kate says: &#8216;You can see how rewarding this sort of work is, knowing you are helping others.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Yes, &#8216; her eldest son replies seriously.<\/p>\n<p>The trio are then seen carefully carrying their gift bags downstairs ready to be taken to youngsters in the area in time for Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>The video ends with the message: &#8216;Thank you to everyone who so generously supports Baby Banks across the country.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Windsor Baby Bank was started by two local mothers in 2015 and has since supported more than 24,000 families in Berkshire and Buckinghamshire, which despite being close to Windsor Castle has huge pockets of deprivation.<\/p>\n<p>The cost of living crisis has seen a dramatic rise in referrals, with the team helping a further 300 families in the first three months of the year alone with everything from new-born starter kits to nappies, buggies, and beds.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike other baby banks they provide clothes, including school uniforms, for children up to the age of 16.<\/p>\n<p>They receive no public finding and rely on voluntary help and donations, grants, retailers and local suppliers.<\/p>\n<p>The staff take care to match-up specific children with donations so they don&#8217;t feel like they are relying on random hand-outs.<\/p>\n<p>At the time the time of her first visit the princess said: &#8216;There is community support out there but it&#8217;s knowing where to go to get that support. And there is a stigma that exists sometimes. &#8216;<\/p>\n<p>She asked what would help shine a spotlight on the valuable work they do and was told: &#8216;Having people like you visit!&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Which is why she promised to bring her own children down.<\/p>\n<p>Co-founder of The Bank Bank in Windsor, Rebecca Mistry, told the Mail that she was so delighted the Princess of Wales made good her promise.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It was such a fab visit, and lovely she could bring them in. It was nice for them, too, to come somewhere their mummy had been,&#8217; she said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We do have children coming down to volunteer quite regularly and their school [Lambrook, attended by George, Charlotte and Louis] recently organised a big collection of Christmas pyjamas and books and treats.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;You never know how the children coming here will take it but they were so well-behaved.<\/p>\n<p>We gave them some lists to work on and asked them to pack bags for children their own ages. They were so good at it.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/femail\/article-12851639\/Princess-Charlotte-gushes-sweet-childrens-coat-tiny-baby-gro-featuring-red-dragons-visit-baby-bank-Windsor-exclaims-Welsh.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Princess Charlotte gushes over &#8216;sweet&#8217;
