A four-year-old girl waited all day to ask Prince William, who is on a visit to Scotland, to give him a kiss - but as he offered one, she was too shy and turned away. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge began a two-day trip to Scotland with a visit to Glasgow, where they toured the Emirates Arena, one of the sites of the 2014 Commonwealth Games. Outside, four-year-old Shona waited with her family to get a glimpse of the royal couple. Her mother Karen Ritchie said Shona had waited all morning to ask William for a kiss. "We've been here waiting since nine," Mrs Ritchie said. "But when she finally plucked up the courage to ask him, she got really shy and pulled away. "As he leaned in to kiss her on the forehead she pulled away and got really shy." William and Kate Visit Scotland William and Kate arrive in Glasgow Kate, dressed in a tartan coat and nearly six months pregnant, chatted with Games mascot Clyde and its creator. It emerged that the cheeky thistle mascot had earlier asked if he could pat Kate's bump. The couple also visited the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, where they watched riders in a practice session. Later, Prince William will make a Skype video web call to two homeless Scottish people in the Netherlands. He will chat on-line to Dylan Howie and Lyn Buchan who are taking part in an exchange programme run by the Glasgow-based project for rough sleepers. William and Kate Visit Scotland The royals are entertained by 2014 Commonwealth Games mascot Clyde "It's just amazing that I will get a chance to speak to the Duke of Cambridge. It's brilliant, I'm very excited," said Mr Howie, who first stayed at the Stopover project in 2011 when he was just 16. "The past year has been really tough for me - but since coming to Quarriers' Stopover my life has been turned around." The homeless pair from Glasgow are on a work experience placement in the Dutch town of Papendrecht as part of the charity's initiative run with Dutch partner Werkcenter. The Duke has long had a keen interest in tackling homelessness and is patron of Centrepoint, a charity that has been providing support and care for rough sleepers for decades. William and Kate Visit Scotland Kate is pregnant with the couple's first child At the Donald Dewar Leisure Centre in Drumchapel the couple will launch a new Scottish pilot project for their foundation, which aims to inspire and train the next generation of young sports coaches. The trip will also see William and Kate visit Dumfries House, where they will team up with Prince Charles, and BAE systems in Barrow-in-Furness. When in Scotland William and Kate are known as the Earl and Countess of Strathearn, titles given to them by the Queen to mark their marriage. North of the border Prince Charles is also known under a different title: the Duke of Rothesay.
