Kate Middleton's Meeting with Prince William 'Like Talking to Your Neighbor,' Says Market Stall Owner

Kate Middleton's Meeting with Prince William 'Like Talking to Your Neighbor,' Says Market Stall Owner

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge made a memorable shopping trip to Abergavenny Market during their visit to Wales.

The royal couple spoke to several sellers that day, stopping to ask about their wares.

"It was really wonderful," Davis told Marie Claire about the visit. 'We love the royal family, so we were really happy when they mentioned us by name.'

The two sellers often attend royal events, so meeting two senior royals was very exciting for them (um, understandable).

"We booked for the Queen's [Jubilee] in June and we went to their different ones," Davis adds. 'It was so natural, meeting them that close, shaking their hands, it was like talking to a neighbor.' It was great."

As for what they talked about, Davis explains that he introduced the Cambridges to the produce they sell and expressed interest in the sisters' business.

"[The Duke] asked where we buy our stuff," Davis says. We replied that we buy most of our stuff locally," but for some produce, like bananas, "we have to go farther" for obvious reasons. He said, "I can understand that, it can't always be from England"

. [The duchess was equally friendly. She said, "Oh my, you've got some lovely produce," Davis recalls. 'Yes, they were really, really down-to-earth.'

So was she nervous about meeting the future king and queen? Davis explains, "But she [eventually] was fine."
