Prince William has wished a centenarian a happy birthday as she reaches her 100-year milestone after charming her on a visit to her care home in March.

The Prince of Wales, 42, met Christina at the Deidre Knight Centre, an adult day care centre in Angus, two months ago.

The father-of-three privately dropped into the organisation, which supports adults and older people who are affected by a degree of physical or mental disability and are experiencing social isolation, during his recent trip to Aberdeen.

William posted a sweet message on the Wales’ official X/Twitter page to mark Christina’s spectacular milestone. 

William wrote: ‘Happy 100th Birthday, Chris! It was a pleasure meeting Christina Charlton during a recent visit to the Deidre Knight Centre in Forfar, Angus. 

‘Yesterday she celebrated her 100th birthday! We hope you had a wonderful day!’

He posted two sweet images alongside the message, which included one of him and Christina smiling and laughing together. 

The future King also posted a picture of Christina that was taken on her special day on Wednesday, featuring the centenarian wearing a glitzy gold sash that read: ‘100 and fabulous.’

The beaming pensioner was also wearing a silver tiara and posted alongside several birthday balloons and a big pink sign that said: ‘Happy 100th birthday.’ 

He then wrote another tweet in the thread and penned: ‘Thank you to the incredible carers and support workers whose compassion and dedication creates such a warm, supportive community at Deidre Knight,’ along with posting a video.

Their youngest client is 28 years old and their oldest member is Christina, aged 100.

The short collection of clips showed William greeting Christina by shaking her hand along with the pair laughing together while in conversation. 

The heir to the throne was also filmed chatting to a man in the centre who went in to hug the Prince and was met with open arms from William, with the pair sharing a heartfelt embrace. 

Both the Prince and Princess of Wales are known for breaking royal protocol when it comes to royal visits by allowing people they meet to hug them.

The rules surrounding touching the Royal Family has historically been so strict that a simple breach like a hand on the back was enough to spark outrage.

There are no obligatory codes of behaviour when meeting a member of the Royal Family, but many chose to observe traditions, which is to bow or curtsy.

 However, the Waleses are known for being much more approachable than some older members of The Firm. 

This post on X, formerly known as Twitter, comes as William and Kate continue exploring the Isle of Mull.

The Prince and Princess of Wales celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary with a trip to the Scottish island, where they visited the picturesque town of Tobermory. 

The couple visited Aros community centre – which has partnered with their Royal Foundation – as well as a artisan market with island produce, before a lengthy walkabout by the main seafront road. 

One little girl called Iris, aged around six and dressed in a party dress, shyly told the Prince she wanted to give her flowers to the Princess instead.

Prince William was all too happy to make her dream come true, directing her through the crowds and parting security so she could walk over to Catherine and hand-deliver them. 

‘Would you like to give these to Catherine?’ William could be heard asking, crouching down to speak to the girl and admire the flowers she’d brought.   

The young girl’s father, standing behind in a grey T-shirt, answered for her and nodded, saying ‘she was hoping to give them to Catherine’. 

She and her husband Prince William looked as loved up as ever as they celebrate their 14th wedding anniversary

William and Kate – who first crossed paths at the University of St Andrews in 2001 – are spending their anniversary north of the border. (Pictured: The royals’ 2011 wedding)

Kate and William sampled some whiskey at a Whey-based spirit holder’s stall

William soon got to work, guiding the girl through the crowd and telling her to ‘head over that side’. 

Moments later, the delighted young royal fan got to meet the princess, who complimented her floral dress and matching nails. 

Kate said, ‘I saw you when we went in! I wanted to come and see you, thank you so much!’

The mother-of-three then asked to shake her hand and gushed: ‘Look at your beautiful dress! It’s lovely, isn’t it? It’s very nature inspired.’

After admiring her nail varnish she said: ‘Thank you for coming to say hello. Nice to meet you!’ 

Royal fans were delighted by the sweet interaction, which was posted on X/Twitter, with one person writing: ‘They are so sooo good with the public, specially with kids.’

Others said: ‘Aww they are just the best!!! I have no doubts that little girl and her family will never forget this moment’;

‘This is SO sweet. And this why we all love them. They are real, authentic, have people skills, & respectful’; 

‘I LOVE (as do most people) the way Catherine gets down to the kids’ level. Talks to them earnestly and doesn’t treat them like well… little kids. She is so respectful of them and their parents. She’s a national treasure for sure!!!’

The Prince and Princess were gifted a bouquet of flowers as they visited the soft play area at the Aros Hall community hub

The romantic picture was posted on the couple’s official Kensington Royal social media accounts and showed the Prince and Princess of Wales lovingly holding each other as they enjoyed a quiet moment at dusk in Tobermory

The couple were handed dozens of bunches of flowers, and stopped for the occasional group photo with fans young and old. 

Prince William teased a handful of people about sneaking in for a second chat or photograph, telling them: ‘Hang on, I’ve shaken your hand already! And you…and you! I’m very good with faces.’

The casual walkabout saw people milling around, with William asking ‘how are things’ to members of the public from bikers to local chefs and a 16-year-old bagpiper who had turned out to welcome them by playing Flower of Scotland and Scotland the Brave.

The Lord and Lady of the Isles – as they are known in the region, as well as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay arrived wearing matching tweed jackets as they began a packed two-day trip to the Inner Hebrides. 

Kate, 43, was glowing as she stepped out in a smart £549 herringbone blazer from Holland Cooper as she arrived at the iconic 18th Century fishing port with its brightly-coloured houses, made famous by the hit children’s show Balamory.

She added hiking boots, skinny jeans and a light blue shirt – while subtly paying tribute to William with a £6,000 Cartier Ballon Bleu stainless steel watch, thought to have been a gift from her husband on their third wedding anniversary in 2014.
