And the talkative American joked that she had broken a vow of silence to greet them.

Ruby said: “It’s funny because I’m on a retreat there. And I thought, ‘Why are they interrupting my silent retreat? I mean, you could break the silent retreat for this.’ ”

She said of meeting 42-year-old William: “I didn’t realise he was so good looking. He looks like his mother.”

William and Kate, 43, have celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary during their visit to the Inner Hebrides.
