Kate Middleton hugs former history teacher during museum visit

THE Princess of Wales embraces her former history teacher during a royal visit.

She hugged Jim Embury at the National Maritime Museum in Falmouth, Cornwall, where he is now a volunteer.

He taught Kate at St Andrew’s prep school in Pangbourne, Berks, in the 1990s.

She cried "oh my goodness" and hugged Mr Embury, now a volunteer at the museum.

Kate added: "I do recognise you. I remember the classroom and everything.

"Wow. That is such a small world.

"I'm trying to teach my daughter all the things you probably taught me."

Speaking after the meeting, Mr Embury said he taught Kate history in the mid 1990s.

When asked by reporters how she was as a pupil, he replied: "I have to say fantastic.

"It was a great class and she was a great participant and a great kid.

"It was 25 years ago."
