Kate Middleton’s unexpected response to child who asked who she was

Kate Middleton displayed her unwavering support for her husband, Prince William, in a sweet exchange during the pair’s trip to Scotland.

The Prince and Princess of Wales, both 41, had a joint outing in Burghead, northern Scotland, where they met with mental health organizations that support the youth in rural communities.

And Kate had a surprising response to a child who asked her who she was during a stop at an elementary school on Thursday.

In a video shared on X, the mom of three was all smiles as they greeted a group of children outside the school.

When asked who she is, Kate was heard responding, “Who am I? I’m married to William,” she explained while pointing toward her husband, who was not shown in the clip.

The answer may come as a surprise to some, as Kate did not introduce herself as a Princess or a member of the royal family.

“I really like your school,” she can be heard telling students in the video, before high-fiving one child in the crowd.

“It was very nice to meet all of you,” she added, wrapping up her conversation with the kids.

Princess Kate’s humble answer highlighted her supportive role to Prince William, who is next in line to the throne.

And the pair’s sweet outing comes just days after her father-in-law, King Charles, revealed new details about William’s sweet proposal to her.

During his and his wife Queen Camilla’s five-day trip to Kenya, the monarch conveyed just how special Kenya is to the royal family in a speech at a state banquet.

“It was here, in sight of Mount Kenya, that my son, the Prince of Wales, proposed to his wife, now my beloved daughter-in-law,” he said.

William famously popped the all-important question to Kate on Oct. 20, 2010, but news of their engagement didn’t become public knowledge until Nov. 16 of that year.

The pair had been dating for eight years prior to the engagement, and first met during their respective stints at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland in 2001.

The couple wed in a lavish ceremony at Westminster Abbey on April 29, 2011.

They went on to welcome three children: Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5.
