The Duchess of Cambridge made a young girl's dream come true after they met in matching dresses. Kate Middleton invited Mila Sneddon to the Palace of Holyrood, Edinburgh, in May 2021, after the five-year-old wanted to meet a real princess.
Mila was four months into chemotherapy for leukaemia at the time. She wanted to meet Kate dressed in pink, as it is her favourite colour. During an earlier phone call Kate promised Mila that she would wear pink when they met.
The Duchess left her clothing choices into the hands of Mila instead of her professional stylists on this occasion, and they both wore long pink floaty dresses when they were introduced in person. A photo of Mila kissing the kitchen window whilst her father stood outside became a symbol of isolation during the pandemic's earlier stages reports Cambridgeshire Live.
