Princess of Wales gives remembrance poppy to young boy during school visit

The Princess of Wales gave a three-year-old her poppy on Wednesday after he pointed it out on her coat.

She stopped to speak to the boy, called Akeem, during a visit to Colham Manor Children’s Centre in Hillingdon, west London, after spending the morning chatting with mothers and health workers.

As the Princess, 40, crouched down to say hello, Akeem asked her name.

“My name is Catherine,” she said. “Very nice to meet you.”

“OK,” he replied.
