Princess Kate, accompanied by Prince William, made a heartfelt gesture that left an eight-year-old girl in tears of joy.

During their visit to Sandringham, the late Queen Elizabeth II’s Norfolk residence, the royal couple took the time to interact with the crowds and observe the sea of tributes left in honor of the nation’s beloved monarch.

This visit came exactly one week after the Queen’s passing at Balmoral, Scotland.

As Kate and William made their way through the crowd, a touching moment was captured on video between Kate and eight-year-old Elizabeth Solkowska.

Elizabeth was holding a bouquet of flowers and a corgi cuddly toy, standing among the mourners.

Kate noticed the young girl and approached her, bringing a smile to her face.

She then guided Elizabeth to the tribute area, where they placed the flowers and corgi toy among the heartfelt offerings.

Reflecting on the experience, Elizabeth shared, “I went with her to put the flowers and the corgi down.

She asked me where I thought we should lay the flowers, and I suggested a spot.”

The headteacher of Elizabeth’s school, Mr. Gregory Hill, expressed his delight, stating, “Elizabeth was overjoyed.

She cried with joy at being chosen.

It’s truly a wonderful and amazing opportunity.”

Mr. Hill also highlighted how the Queen’s passing has deeply affected the younger generation.

Despite not having experienced the Queen’s reign for long, they are still profoundly moved by her loss.

This sentiment was echoed by another mourner named Jo, who had the chance to speak with Princess Kate at Sandringham.

Jo’s mother, Lynn, shared that Kate expressed gratitude and reassured her that their three children are coping well and receiving support at school.

Regarding the couple’s children, it was reported that Kate mentioned to another mourner that their eldest son, George, has an understanding of the Queen’s passing.

However, seven-year-old Charlotte and four-year-old Louis are still coming to terms with the concept.

This outing marked the first solo appearance for Prince William and Princess Kate as the new Prince and Princess of Wales.

The title was bestowed upon William by his father, now known as King Charles III, following the peaceful passing of the Queen at the age of 96.

It is worth noting that William’s late mother, Diana, who tragically passed away in 1997, held the title of Princess of Wales before Kate.
