The Princess of Wales is always followed by security wherever she goes - but that didn't stop one young fan from snatching her handbag as his mortified mum looked on.
Kate and Prince William visited Aberfan in South Wales today to visit a memorial garden dedicated to the victims of the 1966 disaster, which struck the village.
During the visit, the royal couple took the time to chat to wellwishers who turned out to greet them with Kate making a beeline for mum Lucy Williams and her baby son Daniel.
