Boy, 4, overcome with joy as he meets Kate Middleton and Prince William

A young boy was adorably overcome with joy as he met Prince William and Kate today on their first outing to Wales since taking up their new titles.

The Prince and Princess of Wales crouched down to greet four-year-old Theo Crompton as he handed them a bunch of posies during their visit to an RNLI station.

The schoolboy was spotted beaming as he spoke to the royal couple before they met locals and staff in Holyhead, Anglesey.

William and Kate made their first home as newlyweds on the island, and it was where they took Prince George and Princess Charlotte during the Platinum Jubilee weekend.

The pair are also visiting North Wales, then going on to Swansea in South West Wales as they spend the day travelling around the country.

As the new Prince and Princess, the royal couple had promised to visit at the earliest opportunity to begin "deepening the trust and respect" they have with the people of Wales.

The last time the couple took a trip to Wales was to Cardiff Castle in June, where rehearsals for the Platinum Jubilee concert were taking place.

The official visit comes after it emerged that William has no plans to stage an investiture ceremony to formally mark receiving his new title.

His father Charles was officially invested with the title Prince of Wales by the Queen during an event staged at Caernarfon Castle in July 1969.

He pledged allegiance to his mother with the words: "I, Charles, Prince of Wales do become your liege man of life and limb."

It is understood William has no plans for "any kind" of an investiture like the ceremony staged for the King, and is focused on deepening the trust and respect of the people of Wales over time.

A royal source said in the aftermath of the Queen's death: "The new Princess of Wales appreciates the history associated with this role but will understandably want to look to the future as she creates her own path."

A few days after the Queen's death, William spoke via telephone with Mark Drakeford, First Minister of Wales, a conversation where William mentioned his "deep affection for Wales".

The prince served as an RAF search and rescue helicopter pilot when living on Anglesey with wife Kate.

He "expressed his and the Princess of Wales's honour in being asked by the King to serve the Welsh people".
