The clip was taken earlier this week during Prince William and Princess Kate's visit to Scotland. The 44-year-old is wearing a figure-hugging plaid coat and high boots - not your typical running outfit. Yet, she suddenly sprints off when she spots the fans patiently waiting in the cold, even though she was already heading towards her car.
Despite the unusual choice of footwear, Kate seeks direct contact: She takes a selfie, shakes hands, and accepts flowers. This brief, unplanned meeting earned the mother of three plenty of sympathy points and has sparked online enthusiasm.
