The Duchess of Cambridge flung her arms around a sobbing mother at a charity awards ceremony tonight and told her: 'I just had to do that as a mum.'
Kate, 34, comforted Ceri Knapton who was overcome with emotion as her son, Ethan, 13, told the royal how he used his own battle with autism and Asperger syndrome to raise awareness of the condition to benefit others.
Ceri, from Preston Lancashire, said afterwards: 'I vowed that I wouldn't cry but was just overcome listening to Ethan. The Duchess just leant over and said to me "I've got to give you a hug as a mum". I couldn't believe it. It was such a kind gesture.'
