Watch as Camelon toddler, 3, has Royal date to present flowers
A mum and toddler had an unforgettable day when they met Princess Catherine and presented her with a bouquet of flowers.
Amy Weir admits that she is “a royal fan”.
When she heard the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay – how the Prince and Princess of Wales are known when in Scotland – were to be in Stirling yesterday (Wednesday) then she knew that she had to be there.
Along with daughter, Christie Grimshaw, aged three, she went along to The Peak sports centre which is home to the National Curling Academy.
And their two hour waiting inside was worth it, according to Amy, as when the Royals arrived, Princess Catherine spotted them in the crowd and came across to speak.
Cue little Christie handing over the bouquet of pink blooms.
Accepting them, the princess asked if Christie had picked them and when she said yes, she asked if pink was her favourite colour as the toddler was wearing a pink coat.
Back home in Camelon after their exciting Royal encounter, Amy said: “Meeting the Princess was honestly one of the best moments of my life. I am royal fan and I love what they do and bring to the UK, so for me it was truly amazing.
"As a mum I was so so proud of Christie – she spoke well and was very polite.
“We waited from 11am for the Prince and Princess to arrive, so about two hours and Christie was super – so well behaved and for a three year old that’s really something.”
Sadly dad Andrew and big sister Poppy, eight, missed out on the Royal encounter, but Amy and Christie had lots of photographs and video to share with them of the special day.
The Royals also visited a weaving workshop in the heart of Stirling before popping into The Goth pub in Fallin which puts much of its profits back into the local community.
Before they arrived in the city, however, they had stopped off in Falkirk, at The Helix to see The Kelpies up close and find out more about the world-famous sculptures.
