“Even when they were being rushed out, they made sure they made time for everybody.”

Otto had the opportunity to take selfies with both William and Kate.

Chris Ship, a royal editor with ITV News,tweeteda video of the moment.

Rather than commenting, the royal family’s strategy has been to focus on their work.

“The message is it’s very much business as usual,” a royal source told theMirror.

“The understandable reaction is to hit back, but it can often be the best advice.”
