You’re a married man, go away! Toddler says NO to kiss from Prince William (PHOTOS, WATCH)

  • Shona Ritchie, 4, also refused to give William her flower…
  • …because she wanted to give it to Kate
  • Later a baby tried to eat some of Kate’s flowers
  • Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are in Scotland for two days

 

The pregnant Duchess of Cambridge was a hit with the children of Glasgow when she visited the Scottish city today. Her husband Prince William, however, did not go down quite so well.

The second-in-line to the throne reached in to give a friendly kiss to a toddler, but the shocked little girl recoiled in horror, burying herself in her mother’s neck.

Shona Ritchie, a four-year-old Glaswegian local who was dressed as a princess, further rebuffed the royal advances when William admired the pretty flower she was holding. Concerned he might take a fancy to it, Shona yanked it away from his grasp – because she wanted to give it to Kate.

‘Ooh, is that for me?’ William asked hopefully, looking at the red flower, to which Shona thrust the flower in Kate’s direction. ‘No, you want to give it to Kate. Quite right.’

The Prince hoped he might get a kiss by way of apology, at which point Shona hid from his advances. ‘Oh, next time, Shona, next time,’ he said, smiling. 

Shona was standing outside the Emirates Arena with her family. Her mother, Karen Ritchie, 34, from Croftfoot, Glasgow, said Shona had waited all morning to ask William for a kiss but, as he leaned over, she became shy.

She said: ‘She’s been dressed up like that since 6am today and we’ve been here waiting since nine. But when she finally plucked up the courage to ask him, she got really shy and pulled away.

‘Kate asked her if she had picked the flower from her garden, but Shona told her she got it from my vase  and she thought that was very funny’

‘As he leaned in to kiss her on the forehead she pulled away and got really shy. This is the quietest she’s been all day.’

The Duchess was given Shona’s red flower when she also stopped to speak to the family.

Mrs Ritchie said: ‘She said Shona looked very pretty and asked her if she had picked the flower from her garden, but Shona told her she got it from my vase in the house and she thought that was very funny.’

Today’s visit was the start of the royal couple’s two-day Scottish tour, which they began by visiting one of the venues for the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

The royal couple visited the Emirates Arena, including the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, where the two watched riders in a practice session.

Later, William will make a Skype web call to two homeless people from Scotland who are working in Holland.

The royal couple will also travel to Dumfries House in Ayrshire. The 18th century mansion was bought, along with its contents and adjoining land, by a consortium led by the Prince of Wales in June 2007. Charles, known as the Duke of Rothesay in Scotland, will join his son and daughter-in-law as the Manoukian Foundation, a new outdoor centre for uniformed youth services and schools, is opened in the grounds.
