Princess of Wales fan spends thousand dollars for meeting lasting seconds in Boston

A Princess of Wales megafan has met her idol for a few seconds after spending $1,000 travelling to meet the royal. The meeting happened during a walkabout in Boston.

Kate was on a visit to Harvard University to chat to experts in the early years development of children and came armed with a book full of handwritten notes. She spent half an hour with staff from The Centre on the Developing Child – which Kensington Palace described as a “friend” of the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood, established by the princess, PA reports.

During the meeting, Kate said: “There is so much amazing work going on and we need to start sharing the learning and science and what can be done better and be improved to help children in the trajectory into adult life. It is frustrating because I’d like to be here for days.”
