- Prince William and Kate Middleton visited the Aberfan Memorial Garden on Friday.
- During the visit, they greeted the public, and a 1-year-old, Daniel Williams, took Kate's purse.
Kate Middleton lent her designer handbag to a baby at a royal engagement.
Prince William and Kate are in the midst of a trip to Wales in honor of the 60th anniversary of the Central Beacons Mountain Rescue.
King Charles III gave them the titles of Prince and Princess of Wales after Queen Elizabeth II died in September 2022.
On Friday, they visited the Aberfan Memorial Garden, which was opened by Queen Elizabeth after the Aberfan disaster.
The coal-waste disaster killed 144 people, including 116 children.
William and Kate greeted members of the public during their visit, as well as trustees of the Aberfan Memorial Trust.
At one point, Kate spoke to a woman named Lucy Williams and her 1-year-old son Daniel, ITV reported.
As they chatted, Daniel took Kate's purse and wouldn't let go, a video captured by ITV shows.

The purse was a Mulberry bag that retails for $845, according to Page Six.
As the video showed, Kate let Daniel play with the bag while she greeted others in the area.
"She said, 'He can have it to play with, I'll come back for it!' like it was any other person in the street," Lucy said to ITV of Kate's reaction to Daniel's interest in the purse.
"I think she sympathized with how hard it is with children," she also said to the outlet. Kate has three kids: Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 5.
Lucy also told ITV she was "speechless" after Daniel took the purse.
"It's typical him though," she went on to tell the outlet. "He's a bit of a hurricane, I wouldn't expect anything less!"
Daniel's father, Jon, also took to Twitter to react to the video.
"Only my son could rob Kate Middleton's bag," he tweeted.
The Prince and Princess of Wales posted about the visit to Aberfan on Instagram, writing in both English and Welsh that it was "wonderful to see so much positivity in the community."
