“Welcome to the UK, @FLOTUS,” the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge wrote via their official Twitter account. “It was great to host Dr. Jill Biden and experts from the UK and the United States for a discussion on the importance of early childhood on lifelong outcomes, on the first day of the #G7 Summit.”

While speaking to NBC News’ Andrea Mitchell, Middleton also briefly addressed the news that her niece, Lilibet Diana, had been born last week, calling the arrival “the very best—I can’t wait to meet her!”
Her comments echo those of Prince Charles, who spoke at a Mini factory last week about sustainability and mentioned that the birth of his fifth grandchild was “such happy news.”
