Royal Tour: BC resident recalls hilarious moment when 'typical mom' Kate helped a little chef
From the moment the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge touched down in Victoria on Saturday (Sept. 24) they have mix and mingled with hundreds of Canadians eager to have a moment with royalty. And while most jumped at the chance to get a photograph with the down-to-earth couple, there was one little boy who tried his best to get out of one.
TAP FOR GALLERY Kate helped this adorable young chef get picture ready.
Speaking with Hello!, Alison Love, a board member of the Okanagan Chef’s Association, recalled a hilarious moment from Prince William and Kate's visit to the Mission Hill Winery in Kelowna on day four of the tour. She told us that when the time came to take a photograph with a group of young chefs, Kate had her hands full trying to keep one of the youngest budding chefs from running off.
A beautiful picture was captured after a little coaxing on Kate's part.
"There was a little one sitting beside Kate and he kept squirming off his chair and she kept lifting him up and putting him back on his chair [ Laughs]. It was quite cute, but funny to watch – up, down, up, down."
Alison says that it was in that moment that she realized that the duchess is just a "typical mom" and admitted that the experience reinforced how "approachable" the royal couple are. She added: "She didn’t sit there, watching the little one wonder off. She wanted to make sure that he was in the photo because obviously he had been placed there on purpose and someone was waiting to see his photo with the Royal Family!"
