The Princess of Wales said she believed the late Queen was looking down on them when five rainbows appeared in the sky over Balmoral.
Kate made the comment as she and William thanked people who had worked to stage Queen Elizabeth's funeral in Windsor.
It came as the Royals remarked at seeing the colourful weather phenomenon as they spent time in Scotland.
The Prince of Wales said the unusual sight had left them surprised, adding 'In Scotland, how many rainbows turned up?'
'You hardly ever see rainbows up there, but there were five.'
Kate smiled as she replied: 'Her Majesty was looking down on us.'
Kate, Princess of Wales, and Prince William attended Windsor Guildhall this afternoon, three days after the funeral of Her late Majesty the Queen, to speak with staff and volunteers who helped organise and run the committal service at St George's Chapel in Winsdor on Monday

It came as the Royal couple told volunteers and operational staff who helped to organise the Queen's Committal Service that moments of sadness still caught him out.
They had arrived at Windsor Guildhall today to pass on their appreciation to volunteers and staff who worked on the service at St George's Chapel - which followed Her Majesty's state funeral at Westminster Abbey.
And during the engagement, which was the first in person engagement for the Prince and Princess of Wales since the state funeral, William said he found himself 'choked up' when he saw Paddington Bear tributes to his grandmother, but had found comfort in the public outpouring of support for the Royal Family.
He said: 'It is the things you don't expect that get to you,' he said, adding that he got 'choked up' over the Paddington tributes. He went on: 'It is always very comforting that so many people care. It makes it a lot better.
'There are certain moments that catch you out. You are prepared for all but certain moments catch you out.'
They also thanked the group for supporting the large crowds that gathered in Windsor to commemorate the Queen and watch the procession of her coffin up the Long Walk to the castle before the service.
