Princess Kate made an unexpected friend during her Friday visit to the Aberfan Memorial Garden. The Princess of Wales honored the 144 lives lost in the coal-tip landslide in 1966. The otherwise solemn occasion was made light when a 1-year-old named Daniel reached out and grabbed her Mulberry handbag.
The child became so enthralled with Kate’s bag that the royal let him play with it while she continued to greet other visitors. Daniel’s mom, Lucy, spoke to ITV about the funny encounter.
