Kate and William get a taste of home in Boston after child dressed as Buckingham Palace's Grenadier Guards gives them flowers

During the couple’s three-day visit to Boston today, Kate and William, Princess & Prince of Wales, received flowers from an eight-year-old kid dressed as one of Buckingham Palace's Grenadier Guards. Henry Dynov-Teixeira of Somerville, Massachusetts, presented the Princess with a bunch of red flowers while beaming from behind his signature bearskin cap.

On the second day of their visit to the Boston area, Kate and Prince William had just returned from a visit to Greentown Labs, North America's largest clean-tech incubator, when Henry approached them on the street. Henry's mother, Irina, told the media that he saw the changing of the guard while visiting London and wore it for Halloween.

Kate and William each shook the small boy's hand and exchanged a few words with him. Henry told reporters that the encounter was surreal but that he wasn't nervous when he chatted with the Prince and Princess.


Dyno-Teixeira stated he would yell at his closest buddy and tell him he was famous when asked what he would say to his buddies.

The Prince and Princess of Wales tweeted their appreciation to Henry and everyone who came out to see us in Somerville this morning shortly after the meeting.

The touching moment has already impacted viewers, with many commenting on how adorable Henry's gesture was.

One person commented, "What a sweet little guy," while another said, "This young man is so lovely; I love him."
