The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were greeted in the Bahamas by Aniah Moss

Moss stood at the Lynden Pindling International Airport in Nassau, Bahamas, holding flowers and smiling as she handed the bouquet to the duchess when the couple exited their plane.

Express noted that during this visit that William and Kate “are scheduled to attend an assembly at a primary school, compete in a sailing regatta, and participate in a cultural event featuring typical Bahamian food and music.”

But now all anyone wants to talk about is the 8-year-old who wore a beautiful pink dress, pearl necklace, and white gloves as she welcomed the royal couple to the island.

Internet gushes over Moss
