Helen Piper-Windus and Jan Scott, who both live in Sudbury, had been waiting since 09:00 BST to see Catherine before she arrived at about 11:00 BST.
“We’ve been waiting a long time… [we had a] spot right at the front and we got some photos,” Ms Piper-Windus said.
“A little town like Sudbury, for us to have a visit from the princess is amazing.”
Ms Scott added: “We don’t often get exciting events happening in Sudbury.
“We were very fortunate… it’s really great and it brings out everybody.
“There are so many bad things going on in the world, it’s nice to have some respite from it and bring some joy into Suffolk.”
