The Duchess of Cambridge was delighted to be reunited with an old friend as she and her husband, Prince William, stood in for the Queen at today’s Buckingham Palace garden party.
Kate made a beeline for Holocaust survivor Manfred Goldberg, 92, whom she has met twice previously, most recently talking to him over video call last year to mark Holocaust Memorial Day.
Mr Goldberg, who was with his wife of 61 years, Shary, was a German-born Jew sent to the ghetto, forced labour camps and eventually Stutthof concentration camp near Gdansk in Poland by the Nazis when he was just 14. His younger brother, Herman, was murdered there.
