Nice personal anecdote from one of the people he met.

It was an incredibly special moment for British army medic, Lance Corporal Molly Pettifer, 28, who revealed that her grandmother's friend delivered William at birth.

Ms Pettifer, who is from Enfield, in north London, met the prince as he visited the city.

She said: 'I've never met any royalty before, so it was very exciting.

'It meant a lot to meet [the prince]. It was quite special. My nan's friend delivered him as a baby. I thought that was quite funny.'

She said she might share the encounter with her grandmother's friend later on.

Ms Pettifer, who is two weeks into a six-month tour of Poland, said she told William about her work training troops in first aid.

That is a nice anecdote. Again, the Royals out helping to boost morale and recognizing what the Western military forces (UK and Poland) are fighting for. HRH's trip was highly appreciated by both countries.
