Her sister, Bronwyn Iten-Scott, who lives in Japan, was equally eager to meet the couple.
“I’m very excited because it just so happened that on my visit [to Newmarket], visiting my sister, coincided with their visit,” she said.
“I’m glad I get to see them, it’s a good experience.
“Thankfully [Japan] has a good relationship with England and Japan has an amazing royal family as well so they have a lot of respect for them.
“So we understand what it’s like when you get to see them in person, it’s a big deal.”
