The Duchess of Sussex has apologised to a young fan today, after "not wearing a pretty dress" on a royal visit.
Three-year-old Annabel Costella and her mum Rhian met the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William when the couple visited the RNLI Mumbles Lifeboat Station in Mumbles, Wales, today.
Rhian shared that her daughter was so excited to meet a "real princess" as she loves fairy tales and Cinderella. The pair then managed to greet the Duchess after the couple arrived.
Rhian explained to the Duchess that her daughter was looking forward to meeting a princess in the flesh, to which Kate responded: "I'm really sorry I'm not wearing a pretty dress today."
The three-year-old then replied to the Duchess: "I thought you'd look like Cinderella."
