Prince William and Princess Kate made quite an entrance at the ODEON Luxe Leicester Square in London as they attended the world premiere of Tom Cruise’s new movie, Digger. During their red-carpet appearance, they were greeted by close friend David Beckham and his sons before reuniting with Cruise, who welcomed them warmly and expressed his sincere appreciation for their support. Yet beyond the star-studded red carpet and the pomp and show, the Prince and Princess of Wales made a point to spend time greeting excited fans who had gathered to catch a glimpse of them.

The future King and Queen met and spoke with several people who had been eagerly waiting for a glimpse. Among them were a couple of young girls who were particularly excited to meet Princess Kate. According to a very wholesome video shared by the Daily Mail reporter, Rebecca English, these adorable girls were so excited for the opportunity that they were kept practising their curtsies and adjusting their cute outfits, just so they could show the Princess their best. The video clearly showed how their beautiful faces were absolutely lit with anticipation.

English captioned the clips, “When you know a princess is round the corner and you just can’t wait to show her the curtsy you’ve been practising….. ❤️.” Barely able to contain their excitement, the pair kept peeking behind the divider to catch a glimpse of the arrival. The younger girl held a Digger event program, while the elder held a gorgeous bouquet of flowers. Endearingly, they continued practicing their curtsies to ensure they were absolutely perfect. When the Prince and Princess arrived, they warmly greeted the two girls and shook hands with them. Watch the videos here
