💖 She ditched protocol — and ran in heels.

This is the moment the Princess of Wales went ‘off script’ and sprinted towards a fan with flowers during her latest outing.

Kate, 44, and Prince William are currently in Scotland, where they are known as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay, for a two-day visit to promote the country’s heritage traditions.

Despite a busy schedule, William and Kate warmly greeted well-wishers waiting outside a tartan-weaving studio before departing for their next engagement in Falkirk.

But not before Kate dashed past members of her security team after she noticed a fan in the crowd looking disappointed to see them go without accepting her flowers.

The woman’s face lit up as Kate ran towards her, thanked her for the bouquet, and posed for a selfie in an authentic interaction that left social media users delighted.

One person wrote on YouTube that Kate and William – who appeared in good spirits as he mingled with members of the public – ‘must drive their security crazy [by] going off script’ all the time.

‘But that is why the people love them so much.’

Captioning photos of the princess running in high-heeled boots, an X user said ‘only she would do that’, adding that it was a ‘beautiful reminder of how deeply she truly cares about people’.

Another quipped she was ‘getting a workout in with those boots’ while a third said noted her ‘perfect poise even while running in heels’.

Others felt both Kate and William are very ‘thoughtful’ and appreciate how much ‘it means to those gathered to see them’.

One person felt that Kate probably ‘reminded’ William of his late mother, Princess Diana, because of the way the admiring crowds reacted to her.

The Prince and Princess of Wales kicked off a busy day of engagements in Scotland with a visit to the iconic Kelpies before making their way to the National Curling Academy in Stirling, where they tried their hand at the sport.

This was followed by a masterclass in weaving tartan at local studio Radical Weavers where Kate had a go on the loom while William – ever the gentleman – patiently held her navy blue Savile Row coat.

Kate, who has never worn the tartan jacket before, paired it with a black turtleneck, matching skirt, and boots from Gianvito Rossi.

For their final stop of the day, Kate and William headed to ‘The Goth’ – short for The Gothenburg – a pub in Falling, a former mining village four miles east of Stirling.

Upon entering The Goth, William revealed that he ‘absolutely loves pubs’ and wants to help as he sat with a group of local men.

Kate refused a drink as she sat down at a table to speak to local school teachers while William nursed half a pint of cider.
