The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge traveled to Mumbles and Port Talbot in south Wales to visit local organizations and businesses
on Tuesday, the royal mom met 3-year-old Annabel shortly after their arrival at Mumbles Pier.
“I said to her that Annabel was really excited to meet a real princess,” Annabel’s mother, local family doctor Rhian Costello, tells PEOPLE. “And she said, ‘I’m sorry I’m not wearing a pretty dress today.’ Annabel then said that she thought she’d look like Cinderella.” Instead of a ballgown, Kate wore a red Zara dress under a navy coat by Hobbs. To stay extra warm on the windy day, she added a red and white scarf to her ensemble.
Dr. Costello, who also has 18-month-old twins at home, adds, “She was very, very natural and lovely and sweet with the children. She was so lovely talking to as many people and children as possible. She said that Annabel looked cold and asked how long we’d been waiting. I thanked them for coming to Wales and that it’s so lovely they come and bring their publicity.”
Kate then responded that she and William “would like to try to come more as they always enjoy coming down to visit.”During their visit, Kate and Prince William met with rescue crews and volunteers at the local lifeboat station and watched the crew engage in a launch before heading to Joe’s Ice Cream Parlour, a quintessential British haven.
