Kate got in touch over the phone with one of the finalists of her photography contest Hold Still, Jason Baird. During the first national lockdown, Mr Baird, a martial arts instructor, dressed up as Spider-Man and toured Stockport to bring some smiles to children.
As he recalled to the Duchess of Cambridge during their phonecall, his initiative was particularly appreciated by children, who over time started to put up signs outside of their windows asking “Spider-Man” to stop by.
While chatting with Mr Baird, Kate joked she may try to involve Prince William and bring Spider-Man on the grounds of Kensington Palace.
She said: “Jason, obviously you have shown a huge dedication to your community but also, as you say, sort of how infectious that’s been to other communities and how lots of people have really aspired to it too and it’s really resonated with lots of people out there.
“So, really really well done, and thank you very much for sharing your photograph.
“Maybe when I am in Stockport I might see you out and about in your…”
Mr Baird replied: “Oh definitely, yeah, just let me know and I’ll put the suit on.”
The Duchess then said: “I’ll see if it takes on the trend to Kensington Palace.
“Might have to buy William a suit to go and see…”
To which Mr Baird replied: “That would be amazing!”
Joking, Kate added: “Unfortunately, I am not sure if he is going to get the air clearance that you have got!”
