A little girl in South Wales had her very own "Princess Diaries" moment with Kate Middleton on Thursday,

The Princess of Wales, 43, was finishing a visit to Corgi -- a Welsh knitwear and sock factory, which, incidentally, is also the name of the late Queen Elizabeth's favorite dog breed -- when she heard a young girl in the distance cry out, "Hello, princess!", per the BBC.

Quite a ways off and about to enter one of the SUVs in her royal convo, Kate acknowledged the girl, waving to her.

But what happened next was most unexpected. As the convoy was leaving the venue and driving by the assembled well-wishers, Kate's vehicle stopped and the princess exited her car, jogging towards the elated young lady, three-year-old Lily-Rose.

“I heard you say ‘Hello’ from all the way back there, and I wanted to come and see you," Kate told Lily-Rose, who offered the royal a toy banana.

As seen in a video posted on Instagram, Lily-Rose asked the mother of three, "Are you a princess?"

"Yeah!" replied Kate, a k a Catherine. "I wanted to come see your village and see what's going on here, see this amazing factory. They make socks and jumpers. It's very interesting!”

As the future queen handed the banana back to Lily-Rose, the toddler threw it to the ground. Laughing, the princess picked it up and gave it to the girl's father, saying, "I'll leave it with you."

After turning to return to her car, Lily-Rose sadly cried out, "I want the princess!" to "awww"s from the others assembled to witness Kate's royal visit.

Not since Queen Clarisse Renaldi of Genovia (Julie Andrews) said, "Goodbye, trolley people!" has an impromptu royal roadside reception been quite so heartwarming.

Meghan Markle’s longtime friend and “Suits” co-star Abigail Spencer has teased what viewers can expect from the duchess’ upcoming Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan.”

Spencer, who struck up a friendship with the Duchess of Sussex in 2011 on the set of the hit legal drama, is set to appear in the upcoming series alongside Markle’s other celeb pals.

“What I’m so excited about is that people will really get an authentic look at the woman that I love and know,” Spencer, 43, told People. 

“Also, you’re gonna learn a lot. I learned a lot from her and she actually gets to teach me something on the show. I’m just so grateful.”

“It’s really from her heart. It really is with love,” added Spencer, who played attorney Dana “Scottie” Scott in the hit legal series alongside Markle.

The upcoming series will follow the former royal, 43, in the kitchen with some of her famous friends, including Mindy Kaling, Roy Choi and Tatcha founder Vicky Tsai.

Prince Andrew told his pal Jeffrey Epstein that they would “play some more soon” in an email sent two months after he claimed their friendship had ended, it has been revealed.

The disgraced Duke of York, 64, wrote to the late serial sex trafficker on the same day a photo of him with then-17-year-old Virginia Giuffre emerged, a court has heard.

Andrew initially claimed that he had cut ties with the late financier — who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking and federal conspiracy charges — in December 2010, shortly after the duo was pictured taking a stroll through Central Park.

However, in late February 2011, the scandal-scarred royal wrote to the convicted pedophile, “Keep in close touch and we’ll play some more soon.”

Epstein and Peter Mandelson, the newly-appointed British Ambassador to the US, remained in close contact until at least August 2012, records show.

The emails, seen by Bloomberg, were read aloud in a London courtroom as part of a filing by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which is defending an appeal by Jes Staley, former Barclays bank honcho, to the Upper Tribunal.

Staley was blocked from all senior management positions until 2023 after it emerged that he lied about his relationship with Epstein.

Emails showed that the pair stayed in touch until at least 2015.

Queen Camilla's longtime facialist has opened up about being the royal's go-to person for all things skincare.

Camilla, 77, has been going to British facialist Deborah Mitchell for nearly two decades, and even granted her company, Heaven Health & Beauty, a royal warrant in December.

“The Queen is just amazing," Mitchell told People. "I’ve known for 18 years what a beautiful person she is. She’s beautiful on both the inside and outside and always has been."

Mitchell added that she has been visiting King Charles' wife at her various royal residences across the UK for years.

“It’s just such a wonderful feeling, and to have it for both my products and my treatments, it’s so special," she told the outlet. "I’m flying high."

Kate Middleton has paid a visit to to a children's hospice as she traveled to Wales for her first official engagement of the year.

The Princess of Wales, 43, spoke to children at Tŷ Hafan -- which translates to "Haven House" from Welsh -- after becoming patron of the charity.

The beloved royal has followed in the footsteps of her late mother-in-law Princess Diana, who was heavily involved in the set up process of the hospice before her death in 1997.

On Thursday, the mom of three arrived in a checked dress from Zara that featured a bow detail. She teamed up her look with black heels and a cream-colored coat.

The princess was seen speaking to kids in the soft play area inside the building, as she was heard asking one young girl, "What do you like doing when you're here?"

After the girl responded by saying she enjoys music, Middleton said, "Have you played any of the instruments?"

The girl, who is wheelchair-bound, then shook a rattle as the pair laughed.

Elsewhere during her visit, Princess Catherine was heard discussing "challenging" times for families whose children are undergoing treatment at the hospice.
