KATE Middleton today kept the promise she made to a little girl who wanted to meet a princess dressed in her favourite colour pink.
The Duchess of Cambridge proved true to her word when she invited little Mila Sneddon and her family to the Queen’s official Edinburgh home, wearing an ME+EM outfit that matched the five-year-old’s dress.

Outgoing Mila, who is battling cancer, previously captured the duchess’ heart – and when they met today she told the youngster she wanted to give her a “big squeezy cuddle”.
Mila was featured in a picture from Kate’s lockdown photography project and came to symbolise isolation during the pandemic after she was pictured kissing her home’s kitchen window as her dad stood outside.
The little girl is undergoing chemotherapy for leukaemia and was photographed separated from her dad during the first lockdown, after he had to go to work and could not risk bringing coronavirus into the family home in Falkirk.
Kate and Mila had talked on the phone after the image was among 100 selected for the duchess’ Hold Still exhibition and book, and agreed to meet up.
During the call, Mila asked the Duchess: “Do you have a costume?”
Kate replied: “I’m not wearing a princess costume right now, I’m afraid Mila. Do you have lots of dressing-up outfits yourself?”
Mila replied: ” Yeah” and told the Duchess her favourite colour was pink.
The Duchess replied: “OK, well I have to make sure I go and try and find myself a pink dress so that hopefully, when one day hopefully, Mila we’ll get to meet and then I’ll remember to wear my pink dress for you. Would that be nice?”
The pair met at the Palace of Holyroodhouse today and when Kate walked into the room, the face of the little girl it up.
“Hi Mila, look at you. I want to give you a big squeezy cuddle, it’s so nice to meet you in person,” Kate said.
The five-year-old stood up as did her father and mother, Scott and Lynda Sneddon, and her big sister Jodi.
Kate praised the little girl who was dressed head-to-toe in pink with matching headband, dress and shoes.
She said: “I love your dress, can you do a little twirl – and your shoes.”
Mila spun round for the future queen before running over to her father.
