Overview

• A Kensington Palace source described the pair’s rapport as warm and friendly, with Kate sharing a lighthearted note about Prince Louis’s current habit of stashing conkers around the house.
• They spent the afternoon with four- and five-year-old Squirrels Scouts, joining nature crafts and helping the children earn their “Go Wild” badges.
• Kensington Palace and the First Lady’s office coordinated details in advance, including complementary autumnal outfits featuring Ralph Lauren and Me + Em pieces.
• The programme treated the First Lady as a principal guest, with children receiving White House honey, picnic biscuits made with honey from the Wales family hives, and red, white and blue neckerchiefs.
• Post-visit coverage reported strong public approval for Kate’s look in a HELLO! reader poll and commentary suggesting potential future collaboration focused on Scouting.
