Prince William and Kate Middleton put on a brave face today as they were greeted on the second day of their US tour by an adorable young boy who dressed up as a member of the King’s Guard.
The cute scene no doubt provided a wonderful moment of lightness for the couple, whose engagement came just a few hours after Prince Harry and Meghan released a very ill-timed trailer for their explosive Netflix documentary amid the Buckingham Palace race row.
The couple looked delighted as they were introduced to eight-year-old Henry Dynov-Teixeira outside of Greentown Labs in Massachusetts, where the youngster had been waiting for the chance to show off his replica of a King’s Guard uniform – which included a faux bearskin hat and bold red jacket.
After handing a bouquet of red roses to a grinning Kate, cheeky Henry then asked her why the couple’s son, Prince George had not accompanied them on the trip, with the Princess replying that he’d had to stay at home in order to attend school.
