Teacher shares ‘dream’ chat with Kate on London walking tour | UK News
Prince William and Kate took a walking tour of Soho, Central London, much to the delight of royal fans yesterday.
But one teacher whose dream it was to talk to Kate had his wish granted when the princess stopped to chat with him.
Louis Stevenson, a schoolteacher, was one of many Londoners and those from further afield who lined up to catch a glimpse of the royal couple.
He posted the video on his Twitter showing Kate stopping to talk to him about his work.
Of his job, he said, “It means so much to me to be a teacher.”
Kate then asked, “What age do you teach?” to which Louis replied, “I teach from 11 to 16.”
Kate then said: “I try to get my kids to speak French and learn languages, but it would also be nice for them to just learn another language.
“I think it’s just very important.”
After talking about his work, Louis nervously asked Kate if he could take a selfie with her.
