When Dame Kelly met Princess Kate
Dame Kelly admitted to being a little star-struck as she was first approached by Princess Kate last week. The royal visitor had come to see a young girls’ mental health project put on by Kelly’s charity. The event was also attended by Love Island’s Zara McDermott.
Kelly had apparently only found out that Kate would be attending “two days before”. She said that finding out the news had been “just the best thing”.
“She was shaking our hands and I just wouldn’t let go!” she told her fellow Loose Women panellists, laughing. “You know when you get carried away?”
Kelly also couldn’t resist complimenting the royal’s jacket. Kate looked stunning as ever in a striking yellow blazer, despite Kelly apparently telling her to “come cas[ual]”.

Dame Kelly also gushed over how “passionate” the “lovely” Princess was. Kate appeared to get stuck in with all kinds of activities from outdoor games to mental health workshops.
“She was really gracious and really interested in the young people,” Kelly told the Loose Women, “She asked a lot of questions.”
The Princess of Wales then apparently asked if the young people at the event had any questions for her in return. One young girl asked Kate: “Did you always want to be a princess?”
To this, Princess Kate gave a heartmelting anwer: “No, but I fell in love with a prince.”
