This is the adorable moment Prince William helped a little girl give Kate some flowers during their visit to the Isle of Mull this week.
The Prince and Princess of Wales celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary with a trip to the Scottish island, where they visited the picturesque town of Tobermory.
The couple visited Aros community centre – which has partnered with their Royal Foundation – as well as a artisan market with island produce, before a lengthy walkabout by the main seafront road.
One little girl called Iris, aged around six and dressed in a party dress, shyly told the Prince she wanted to give her flowers to the Princess instead.
Prince William was all too happy to make her dream come true, directing her through the crowds and parting security so she could walk over to Catherine and hand-deliver them.
‘Would you like to give these to Catherine?’ William could be heard asking, crouching down to speak to the girl and admire the flowers she’d brought.
The young girl’s dad, standing behind in a grey T-shirt, answered for her and nodded, saying ‘she was hoping to give them to Catherine’.
William soon got to work, guiding the girl through the crowd and telling her to ‘head over that side’.

Moments later, the delighted young royal fan got to meet the princess, who complimented her floral dress and matching nails.
Kate said, ‘I saw you when we went in! I wanted to come and see you, thank you so much!’
The mother-of-three then asked to shake her hand and gushed: ‘Look at your beautiful dress! It’s lovely, isn’t it? It’s very nature inspired.’
After admiring her nail varnish she said: ‘Thank you for coming to say hello. Nice to meet you!’
Royal fans were delighted by the sweet interaction, which was posted on X/Twitter, with one person writing: ‘They are so sooo good with the public, specially with kids.’
Others said: ‘Aww they are just the best!!! I have no doubts that little girl and her family will never forget this moment’;
‘This is SO sweet. And this why we all love them. They are real, authentic, have people skills, & respectful’;
‘I LOVE (as do most people) the way Catherine gets down to the kids’ level. Talks to them earnestly and doesn’t treat them like well… little kids. She is so respectful of them and their parents. She’s a national treasure for sure!!!’

Kate gushed over her dress and nails as they had a sweet conversation
She and her husband Prince William looked as loved up as ever as they celebrate their 14th wedding anniversary
The couple were handed dozens of bunches of flowers, and stopped for the occasional group photo with fans young and old.
Prince William teased a handful of people about sneaking in for a second chat or photograph, telling them: ‘Hang on, I’ve shaken your hand already! And you…and you! I’m very good with faces.’
The casual walkabout saw people milling around, with William asking ‘how are things’ to members of the public from bikers to local chefs and a 16-year-old bagpiper who had turned out to welcome them by playing Flower of Scotland and Scotland the Brave.
The Lord and Lady of the Isles – as they are known in the region, as well as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay arrived wearing matching tweed jackets as they began a packed two-day trip to the Inner Hebrides.
Kate, 43, was glowing as she stepped out in a smart £549 herringbone blazer from Holland Cooper as she arrived at the iconic 18th Century fishing port with its brightly-coloured houses, made famous by the hit children’s show Balamory.
She added hiking boots, skinny jeans and a light blue shirt – while subtly paying tribute to William with a £6,000 Cartier Ballon Bleu stainless steel watch, thought to have been a gift from her husband on their third wedding anniversary in 2014.
The mother-of-three also wore her Kiki McDonough Pear Drop earrings and paid tribute to her children with a necklace by Daniella Draper with the letters G, C and L – representing Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine and Prince Louis, who recently turned seven.
Her brunette locks glistened in the sunlight with what appeared to be new blonde highlights for the summer – on a rare day of warm weather on the Scottish island.
Meanwhile, Prince William, 42, opted to match with his wife in a checked grey blazer, jeans and brown suede shoes, while appearing to share her good humour.

They soon put on a loved-up display, with Kate joking with her husband while placing a hand on his back as they walked together.
A crowd of around 300 plus cheering locals and tourists awaited William and Kate, who flew in by helicopter, bagpipes playing at their car approached the local community centre in Tobermory.
It made for a very romantic getaway, with William and Kate renting an isolated self-catering cottage for two during the visit – 14 years after they tied the knot at Westminster Abbey in 2011.
The couple began the trip with a visit to the Aros community centre, built in the 19th century and home to events from wedding receptions to pantos, yoga classes and ceilidhs. It is being renovated thanks to a partnership with their Royal Foundation.
Kate and William waved to the crowds as they walked over to be greeted by Morven Summers, Chair of the Aros Hall Committee, and social influencer, interior designer and local resident Banjo Beale.
The royals were seen laughing as they visited the soft play area inside the hall and were gifted a bouquet of flowers in a timely move for their anniversary.
Reminiscing with locals about a private visit they made as students to the island 20 years ago, the Princess also said she still has two watercolour paintings she bought in the town hanging in a bedroom at home.
And they spoke about the three children they have had since their last trip: their love of soft play, and how the Princess visited the Waitrose café with baby Prince George for lack of any local mother and baby groups on Anglesey to take him to then.

The Prince and Princess spent more than an hour walking through the small town’s harbour front road, shaking hands and taking photographs with locals and holidaymakers.
The Prince said he could always confirm whether he had visited a place before because he is usually asked to sign the visitors’ book, joking that he may have had ‘one or two ciders’ during his long weekend on Mull as a student.
The Princess spent a long time talking to a holidaymaker who introduced himself to her as ‘from one cancer survivor to another’ and played with toddlers and babies at a new soft play their Royal Foundation has funded.
Before they retired for a private evening together, William and Kate cooked haggis on a barbecue and joined a community feast.
The couple were wowed by Croft 3 on Isle of Mull, a small holding that serves up locally sourced food in its restaurant.
They also marvelled at several Hebridean sheep and revealed they took George, Charlotte and Louis lambing during Covid era.
The couple were shown two of the restaurant and sustainable farm’s black ewes and lambs.
Later on Tuesday, Kate and William released a new photograph to mark their 14th anniversary.

The romantic picture was posted on the couple’s official Kensington Royal social media accounts and showed the Prince and Princess of Wales lovingly holding each other as they enjoyed a quiet moment at dusk in Tobermory.
‘Wonderful to be back on the Isle of Mull,’ the caption read. ‘Thank you to everyone for such a warm welcome.’
The message included a heart emoji and was signed ‘W & C’ for William and Catherine.
On the second day of their visit on Wednesday, they took a walk through the woods and beamed as they met a group of delighted children.
The couple, who walked down the aisle at Westminster Abbey on April 29, 2011, do not normally celebrate personal anniversaries in public but when the trip came up, sources say, thought ‘why not?’
Aides say they have a ‘deep love’ for Scotland having met and fallen in love at St Andrew’s University and are delighted to be back on Mull, where as revealed by the Mail today they enjoyed a secret holiday together as student and even took part in a water bomb fight with locals.
The couple are both more at home in the countryside than anywhere else, making it the perfect way, say sources, for them to also celebrate their first wedding anniversary since Catherine revealed she was in remission from cancer.
The couple have endured what William last autumn described as a ‘brutal’ year, making their time away even more precious.

A royal source explained that the tourism industry contributes ‘significantly to the economy of the Isles’, which see hundreds of thousands of people visit every year, adding that the Prince and Princess are looking forward to ‘showing their support for the islands with their stay’.
The source said: ‘For The Duke and Duchess, this visit is all about the power of communities, and highlighting that by building stronger and better-connected communities we can perhaps build a steady path to more loving and compassionate society.
‘What we will see on their visit to the Inner Hebrides is that we can learn powerful lessons from ways of life on Mull and Iona, specifically about how we reconnect with each other.
‘The simpler way of life that these island communities enjoy, steeped in nature and built on strong person to person connections, offers a powerful model for transforming our own health and wellbeing, and in turn the communities within which we live.’
The trip is a rare joint public outing for the couple, who have three children – George, 11, Charlotte, nine, and Louis, seven – since Kate underwent preventative chemotherapy for cancer, for which she is now in remission.
‘Scotland is incredibly important to me and will always have a special place in my heart,’ William, who as heir holds the title Lord of the Isles, said back in 2021.
‘George, Charlotte and Louis already know how dear Scotland is to both of us… We have no doubt they will grow up sharing our love and connection to Scotland.’
In September, the Princess revealed she finished her course of ‘preventative chemotherapy’ and shared it reminded her and her husband to ‘reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved.’
The princess’ personal message to the nation is accompanied by a stunning three-minute long video showing her and William in Norfolk with their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, shot last summer.
It shows the family playing happily on the beach and in the woods, William and Catherine laying entwined on a blanket, hugging their children – and kissing.
Some six months earlier, Kate released another emotional video where she revealed that she was undergoing treatment for cancer but also gave an insight to her relationship with her husband.
She said the diagnosis came as a ‘huge shock’ to both her and William, adding that they were doing ‘all they can’ to process it both as a couple but also as a ‘young family.’
