THE Prince of Wales gave a little boy a hug and vowed to put his picture on the royal fridge.
William was meeting families at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire when three-year-old Blake Fearnley asked him for a hug and presented him with a picture of Mickey Mouse.

His mother Laura Fearnley, 33, said the royal took it and said “he would put it on his fridge”.
Mrs Fearnley said : “He walked off and then Blake decided he wanted to ask William for a cuddle so he followed him and said ‘please William may I have a cuddle’ and he did.”
The royal, 40, who is Honorary Air Commandant of the base, was also invited to pilot a VR headset – which will provide Typhoon squadrons with an advanced display when up in the skies.
Fans later had a ringside seat for the opening of RAF Coningsby Boxing Club – which will be situated in the heart of the base.
Corporal Rachael Howes chatted to William when he met RAF personnel from the base involved in sport as he opened the RAF Coningsby new boxing club.
Cpl Howes, who plays in the Coningsby’s women’s team, put the prince on the spot about the reality show I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! when she said: “I asked him who he wanted to win, Lioness Jill Scott or his relative Mike Tindall.”
The prince smiled and was overheard saying: “That’s a tricky one,” but diplomatically did not pick a winner.
