The busy mum-of-three welcomed Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis in the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital in London where Princess Diana also gave birth.

Discussing Kate's first experience at the exclusive hospital in 2013, Giovanna asked: "What was it like knowing that there are so many people outside after you've given birth and you're in your little cocoon with your new family?"

The Duchess replied: "Slightly terrifying, I'm not going to lie.

"Everyone has been so supportive and both William and I were really conscious that this was something that everyone was excited about and we're hugely grateful for the support the public has shown us.

"And actually for us to be able to share that joy and appreciation with the public, I felt was really important."

But despite wanting the public to see newborn Prince George, Kate said it was challenging to step out in front of the world's media so soon after his arrival.

She added: "Equally, it was coupled with a newborn baby and inexperienced parents and the uncertainty of what that held, so there were all sorts of mixed emotions."

During the incredibly candid interview, Kate also revealed that she "liked labour" as hypnobirthing gave her "huge power"; over the pain and admitted that she has "mum guilt" being a parent and full-time royal.
