Miss Lillie, as fondly called by the Royal Family, was the only Filipino invited to the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. She was Prince William and Prince Harry's nanny for 14 years and she has also served Princess Diana. She is the only Filipina who have ever worked with the Royal Family. She left the Royal Household shortly after Princess Diana's death.

This is Miss Lillie's story on her re-encounter with her former 'little master', Prince William.

Miss Lillie had breakfast, lunch and dinner at the Clarence House, together with other royal staff, on the day of the wedding, April 29, 2011. When the Royal Couple arrived at the Clarence House from Buckingham Palace, all of the royal staff were lined up at the courtyard. The couple received a loud applause from everyone in the Clarence House when all of a sudden Miss Lillie heard Prince William calling her, 'Hi Lillie', then he hugged and kissed her.
Miss Lillie wasn't able to say anything but stunned by the Prince's gesture to her. Prince William was happy that Miss Lillie was able to attend his wedding and also asked how she was. Kate also kissed her and asked how she knew the Prince. Miss Lillie said everyone was looking at them because the Royal Couple stopped at her and talked to her.

Miss Lillie said that Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, also went to the Clarence House and upon seeing her, the Prince asked her how she was and where is she currently working. Miss Lillie told the Prince that she already retired.

Miss Lillie added that while she was having some snacks at the Clarence House, she was tapped by someone on the shoulder. She was surprised to see that it was Prince Harry. She tried to get up to curtsy to him but Prince Harry told her to just sit and he kissed Miss Lillie.
The next day after the wedding, April 30, Miss Lillie was surprised by a phone call from the butler at the Clarence House, Bernie. He said that it was Prince William's instruction to make the call to thank Miss Lillie for attending his wedding and that the Prince was so happy to see her there.

A Royal Family indeed with royal kindness in their hearts for remembering Miss Lillie as part of their lives.
