Kate Middleton<\/a><\/strong> is a true animal lover.<\/p>\n

The Duchess of Cambridge proved this to be true during her surprise visit to the Ark Open Farm in Newtownards, Northern Ireland on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

During the trip, the royal met several four-legged friends. She petted an alpaca, bottle-fed a lamb and admired a guinea pig. She also interacted with a few reptiles, including a turtle and a snake.<\/p>\n

Of course, this should come as no surprise to her fans. After all, Kate has done everything from puppy playing<\/a> to elephant feeding<\/a> during her royal engagements. She also has a dog\u2014a cocker spaniel named Lupo<\/strong>\u2014that she shares with Prince William<\/a><\/strong> and their three kids, Prince George<\/a><\/strong>, Princess Charlotte<\/a><\/strong> and Prince Louis<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The mother of three also spoke with children, parents and grandparents. According to a video<\/a> by local radio station Cool FM, Kate even told a youngster “Charlotte and George will be very sad not to have come and met you and come and see this really cool farm\u2014the best.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

While talking to the families, Kate promoted her “Five Big Questions” survey\u2014a questionnaire that gives people across the U.K. the chance to share their views on raising the next generation and encourages a bigger conversation on early childhood development. The duchess has made several stops this year to promote the survey. For instance, she visited the Children’s Centre in Wales<\/a> and the Stockwell Gardens Nursery and Preschool<\/a> in London in January.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“There’s a huge amount of pressure on parents to feel like they need to be doing this by themselves and actually it’s everyone,” she said while talking about the survey with an attendee, per the video. “But there’s no right or wrong answers.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Kate wore a periwinkle turtleneck sweater, an olive-green coat and black pants to the farm, which offers a number of activities to help family members enjoy quality time together in the outdoors. She accessorized her look with a pair of gold earrings and brown riding boots.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
