Journalist and former Olympian Matthew Syed would've never expected his 8-year-old son to strike up a random conversation with the Duchess of Cambridge while en route to the Commonwealth Games. And yet, that's exactly what happened.
It all started when he asked his son, Ted, to wait in the first class car of the train as he used the restroom. Just moments after he stepped inside, he heard a woman initiate a conversation with his son. She said, “Are you here alone?”
Apparently, Kate Middleton noticed Ted standing alone and immediately approached him to keep him company. And according to Syed's account, which he included in his article for The Times, it sounded like they were having "a whale of a time."
