Middleton, 40, has been inspired to work with children due to her own experiences of being a mother of three. 

The Royal Surrey County Hospital cares for approximately 3,000 babies per year. The royal mother visited the unit that focuses on maternal mental health and pioneering overnight facilities.

"Royal Surrey County Hospital helps women feel safe, supported & have the best chance of developing those all-important early attachments, crucial to ensuring their babies thrive," the Kensington Royal Twitter account shared.

Princess Anne is the only daughter of Queen Elizabeth II, who died last month.

The princess attended a luncheon in Manhattan after the ferry trip and praised the lighthouse museum in a speech.

"The lighthouse still has a really important part to play," she said. "The story that goes with lighthouses and how we got here is just as important, and (the) museum has made an astonishing impact in telling that story."
