Kate Middleton leaves her purse with fascinated baby: ‘I’ll come back for it’

While touring the Welsh village of Aberfan Friday, Kate Middleton let a 1-year-old boy who grabbed the Princess of Wales’ purse play with it while she continued to greet crowds who had gathered to meet the royal couple. 

"I am just speechless," the little boy’s mom, Lucy Williams, told ITV afterward. "I think she sympathized with how hard it is with children."

Kate is a mom to three children: Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 7 and Prince Louis, 5. 

The sweet moment was caught on video by ITV and showed Baby Daniel grabbing and playing with her small black purse as she and his mother laughed over it.

Lucy later told ITV the princess told her, "He can have it to play with. I'll come back for it!"

Near the end of the video, Lucy catches the purse as Daniel starts to drop it and holds it so the royal can take it back. All the while, Kate has her back to his escapades, greeting more well wishers, including another baby. 

Williams later jokingly called Daniel a "hurricane."

"It's typical him," she laughed of the incident to ITV. "He's a bit of a hurricane. I wouldn't expect anything less!"

Miami of Ohio women’s basketball coach steps down amid inappropriate relationship with a player: report

Miami of Ohio women’s basketball coach DeUnna Hendrix stepped down Wednesday. Her decision to resign comes after text messages showed the coach was in an inappropriate relationship with one of her players, according to a report from The Athletic.

At least 30 of the messages contained wording considered "intimate."

The university’s Title IX coordinator launched an investigation into the matter. After the university conducted a review, it was determined "that the matter did not constitute a violation of Title IX or the University’s sexual misconduct protocol," according to a statement sent to The Athletic.

However, the review did show that the university had significant cause to move forward with the termination of Hendrix's employment due to the violation of a policy that prohibits staff members from pursing or engaging in a consensual intimate relationship with undergraduate students. 

The violation of that policy is considered a breach of an employment contract. The school's statement did stipulate that Hendrix had the right to a due process hearing.

Hendrix reportedly referenced a married couple in one of text exchanges, saying, "Doing this with you openly would be more than ideal."

In a text dated April 9, Hendrix wrote, "TODAY IS THE DAYYYYYY that my girl returns to me," and then notes that "the airport will be clear of Miami WBB employees."

Instead of going through the hearing process, Hendrix decided to step down. The university accepted her resignation April 26, and the team was informed of her departure the same day.

"I want to thank Miami University and its administration for allowing me to lead this program for the last four years," Hendrix said in a statement on the university's athletics website

"I can't express the amount of gratitude I have for this prestigious institution and its leadership. I also want to thank the Oxford community for the continual love and support. I look forward to the next phase of my career and continue rooting for the RedHawks."

The university did not officially disclose the reason for Hendrix's exit.

Hendrix went 35-80 during her four-year stint at Miami Ohio. Prior to joining the RedHawks, Hendrix spent seven seasons at High Point University.
