Eight-year-old Aniah Moss had the honor of greeting Prince William and Kate Middleton as soon as they touched down in the Bahamas. After bestowing her gift of flowers to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Aniah told People, “[Kate] said I had a nice dress and I was beautiful and thank you for the flowers.”
As seen in photos from the event, Aniah’s dress featured pink florals and a full flared skirt with a bow at the back. She accessorized her outfit with a pearl necklace and bracelet, white gloves, and pink shoes. Kendenique Campbell-Moss, the young girl’s mother, told People that Aniah’s lovely dress was originally worn for Easter 2021. “When we were called last night to be the flower girl, I thought I better pull it out and make sure she’s ready for the day!” Campbell-Moss watched proudly as her daughter performed her duties solo. “She’s very docile so it was an honor to see her do it,” she told the press (via Daily Mail).
Aniah combined both style and substance during this memorable day. Besides her cool confidence presenting the flowers, the young girl also had an important message to share with reporters at the event. Speaking to the ZNS Network, Aniah said she would tell her classmates, “You guys can’t bully me anymore. You guys can’t tell me what to do” (via Express).
