希拉里向凯特王妃传授育儿经
据外媒报道，身怀六甲的英国凯特王妃12月8日在美国纽约访问时，在育儿经方面得到美国前国务卿希拉里·克林顿的言传身教。
Former US secretary of state Hillary Clinton told the Duchess of Cambridge bonded over motherhood during their meeting at an official function in New York on Monday night, agreeing that singing is beneficial to babies.
Clinton greeted Kate in the lobby of the British consul general's official residence in New York, and they discussed Kate's visit to a child developmental centre in Harlem on Monday morning. Kate, who is expecting her second child in April, also met Clinton's daughter, Chelsea, who recently gave birth to her first child, Charlotte.
"We're trying to encourage more people to sing … because the research suggests that it's beneficial," Clinton told Kate, according to a pool report.
Clinton also told Kate that she would sing to Chelsea when she was a toddler, until there came a point when she told her mother: "No sing, no sing!"
The Duke of Cambridge was originally supposed to attend the event by himself, as royal aides had allotted time in Kate's itinerary for her to relax, as she is now nearly five months pregnant.
But the duchess is fully recovered from the severe sickness that affected her in the first months of the pregnancy, aides said, and she decided she wanted to do as much as possible during the couple's two-day visit to New York.
The conservation reception was co-hosted by the Duke and Duchess's Royal Foundation and the Clinton Foundation, which is committed tocombatting elephant poaching and stopping the illegal ivory trade.
William has dedicated several events to campaigning around the issue of the illegal trade in wildlife, a cause important to him and the Prince of Wales.
