An unexpected incident happened when Prince William and Kate Middleton visited their charity center called Church on the Street. This charity center aims to uplift the underprivileged class of society and feed the poor. It also has a broad objective of eliminating hunger and poverty. They met an 11 years old boy, Deacon Glover, who was mourning his mom's death. Prince William had great empathy for him and shared a wholesome moment with the young boy.

To their surprise, Deacon Glover was wearing a green shirt of the England National Team and Burnley’s goalkeeper Nick Pope. It turned out that the young mourning boy was a die-hard fan of soccer star Nick Pope.
During the meetup with Glover, Prince William whispered in his ears: “Would you like to meet Nick?” The boy grinned and nodded his head - gesturing, “Yes, of course!”. Prince William then promised him that he would make his dream come true by saying, “Let’s see what we can do for you.”
The Duke of Cambridge Keeps His Words!
Last Sunday, The Duke of Cambridge kept his words by making Glover’s dream of meeting with the goalkeeper Nick Pope come true. He met with the England National Team’s goalie Nick Pope prior to Burnley's soccer match with Liverpool.
The Burnley Express reported Glover’s meetup with Nick as “wholesome and an absolute pleasure to watch.” The report further suggests that Nick was absolutely humble towards Glover, and Glover’s excitement was matchless. “I got real goosebumps, and the tears of joy filled my eyes as I saw my nephew jumping up with ecstasy,” said Carole Ellis, the grandmother of Glover.
