Princess of Wales Handbag is STOLEN - by a BABY
Kate Middletons' £675 Designer Handbag is Snatched by Baby - as Mortified Mum Looks On
Prince William and Kate Middleton visited the Aberfan Memorial Garden in South Wales today where they were greeted by a crowd of wellwishers who turned out to say hello to them - and one young fan took a shine to Kate's designer handbag
BBC News 29 APR 2023
The Princess of Wales is always followed by security wherever she goes - but that didn't stop one young fan from snatching her handbag as his mortified mum looked on.
Kate and Prince William visited Aberfan in South Wales today to visit a memorial garden dedicated to the victims of the 1966 disaster, which struck the village.
During the visit, the royal couple took the time to chat to wellwishers who turned out to greet them with Kate making a beeline for mum Lucy Williams and her baby son Daniel.
As the two women chatted, Daniel took a shine to Kate's £675 Mulberry handbag, grabbing it out of her hands as the princess laughed at the youngster.
But despite the pleas of mum Lucy, a giggling Daniel refused to hand the bag back to Kate - who thankfully told the youngster he could keep holding it as she shook hands with other wellwishers.
However, Lucy grappled with the little one who then tried to put the bag in his mouth before releasing it from his grasp - though luckily the quick reactions of his mum meant she caught it before it fell on the floor. It was then handed back Kate.
Speaking after the visit Mrs Williams, 30, whose mother-in-law survived the tragedy, described the “memorable” encounter.
She said: “He just stole her handbag. He took a shine to it and she let him play with it.”
