It comes as a little girl who burst into tears and got a hug from the princess today after getting overwhelmed to meet her in Windsor.
Kate knelt down and hugged the child who was surprised when the princess and her husband joined the party on The Long Walk this afternoon.
Kate saw the child crying and seemed to say, “Do you want a hug?” before sharing an embrace.
William was handed a can of ‘Return of the King’, a specially brewed organic ‘Coronation ale’. He looked absolutely thrilled and Kate smiled as her husband told the benefactor that he would save it for later.
