Kate Middleton Met a Young Boy on a Train Ride — but He Had 'No Idea' He Was Chatting with Royalty!

 

"Judging by using the laughter, they are having a whale of a time," a journalist said of Kate and his son's conversation whilst he used the restroom.

A journalist says the "monarchy is in consummate hands" after his son had a surprise encounter with Kate Middleton.

While Prince William and Princess Charlotte flew to Tuesday's Commonwealth Games with the aid of helicopter (with the Duke of Cambridge acting as pilot!), Kate traveled to Birmingham with the aid of train.

Matthew Syed, a columnist for The Times, and his young son, Ted, had been fellow passengers on the train. When the journalist obtained up to use the restroom, Kate struck up a dialog with Ted.

"As I am doing my thing, I hear him speakme to a female in the vestibule," Syed recalled. " 'Are you here alone?' she asks. 'No, my dad is in there,' he says, pointing to the lavatory."

Syed stated the duo endured chatting and "judging through the laughter, they are having a whale of a time."

He continued, " 'Come on Ted,' I say, 'We have to get off! Oh, and thanks for preserving him agency . . .' I say turning to the woman ready her turn when I am stopped in my tracks. My forehead furrows, my face works. 'Kate?' I blurt out. There are no security guards in the vestibule; no armed guards. But right here is the Duchess of Cambridge, chatting merrily with my son."

When Syed requested Ted if he knew the woman who he used to be speaking to, his son replied, "No idea, however she used to be clearly nice."

"The Duchess had no thinking she was chatting to the son of a journalist so I take this to mirror her personality and sense of duty," Syed wrote. "The monarchy is in consummate hands."

Kate, 40, met up with her husband and daughter in Birmingham, where they watched a range of carrying activities and paid a visit to SportsAid, a charity that counts the Duchess of Cambridge as its royal patron.

Princess Charlotte's day at the Commonwealth Games — the 7-year-old royal's first solo trip with her mother and father —included showing off her royal handshake, carefully looking at a swim meet and enthusiastically cheering for the gymnastics competition, which she printed is her favourite sport.
