Anna later posted: “When George met Prince William at Royal Cornwall show I can’t believe I forgot to share this on here at the time.”
She also shared a clip of Sophie meeting George, with the Duchess making the baby grin and complimenting his outfit. “She was so lovely & made a real fuss of George,” Anna wrote.
The Royal Cornwall Show, dating back to 1793, attracts about 120,000 visitors each year and features livestock competitions, food, and drink. Both William and Sophie are patrons of the Royal Cornwall Agricultural Association.
William and Kate have long been known for warm interactions with children during engagements. In January, Kate surprised royal watchers when she stopped her convoy to greet a little girl calling, “Hello, princess!” Kate ran over, shook her hand, and chatted: “I heard you say, ‘Hello,’ from all the way back there, and I wanted to come and see you,” she told the girl, according to the BBC.
That same month, William charmed another young fan during a visit to Liverpool. When a boy named Mohammed asked, “Are you the King?” William smiled and replied, “No, I’m not, no. I’m his son,” referring to King Charles, before turning the conversation back to Mohammed: “What’s your name? How are you? Did you have a good day at school?”
As Anna summed it up: “He was absolutely lovely with George & took so much time to chat with us. We were so lucky.”
