Kate Middleton called Otto a “super brave boy” before asking if the children had started to write their letters to Father Christmas yet.

However, the Royal visit didn't come without criticism.

The Royal pair spent the morning in Cardiff where the Wales Health Minister Vaughan Gething suggested he rather they hadn’t come at all.

Tricia Davies, the Head of Service at Bath and North East Somerset Council Residential Care Homes said: "It's lovely that we've got a visit today. I'm not a politician, we've taken our advice from our Public Health colleagues.

"We are really confident that all the processes we have in place today are done so on the highest advice. We are very confident with our processes.

She added that the Royal visit will be a highlight for the carehome residents, saying "in 2020 there have not been many highlights."
