Kate Middleton told a well-wisher that her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, love Jellycat cuddly toys - so we've rounded up a few of our favourite cuddly soft toy dupes. 

The Prince and Princess of Wales - who also hold the titles of Baron and Baroness of Carrickfergus - were visiting Northern Ireland on an official engagement yesterday. The Royal couple posed for selfies and chatted with fans who had assembled to greet them. 

After visiting a suicide prevention charity in Belfast, the Princess of Wales approached influencer Laura-Ann Barr and her one-year-old son, Barney who was in the crowd of well-wishers. 

Kate asked the little boy's name and said hello, before ruffling the cuddly toy rabbit he was clutching. 'With a little bun-bun,' she added. 'I recognise those - our kiddies have got quite a few of those.'

Joining the conversation, the Prince of Wales added: 'That looks like a very lovely friend. That's been a few places.'

The 'bun-bun' in question appears to be the Jellycat Blossom Bunny and we've spotted that it's currently still in stock at John Lewis.

Available in several different sizes and suitable from birth, the Blossom Bea Beige Bunny looks to us like the Jellycat toy that the Princess of Wales remarked on. With a pretty floral print lining the ears and paws and a soft pink nose, we can see why this 'bun-bun' might be a hit in the Royal household!


Anything the royal youngsters own tends to sell out quickly - and Jellycat cuddly toys are no different. The Jellycat Fuddlewuddle Puppy sold out in record time when Princess Charlotte was pictured with one in a photograph taken by the Princess of Wales when Charlotte was six months old.

Gorgeously soft and perfect for cuddles, Princess Charlotte's cuddly puppy is also currently in stock. We bet hers is a bit more dog-eared now...
