Mila met with Kate Middleton at Holyrood after her viral lockdown picture made it into the Duchess’ book.

Lorraine suggested Kate's son might be able to help her with her new campaign, saying: “Do we want Kate to get her children to get on their scooters?

“Louis might be the same age as you, so if he could go out on it, it would be lovely.”

Mila replied: “Hopefully he'll get on the scooter, because if he doesn't then Scoot for September is ruined!”
