Kate Middleton Meets Team USA Gymnasts, Admires Their Leotards (PHOTO, VIDEO)

Ever wonder what a teen gymnast could want to do besides win gold medals at the Olympics? Why, meet Kate Middleton, of course. Fortunately for Team USA, the young ladies on the gymnastics team managed to tick both of these things off their wish lists in the space of a few days.

After watching the "Fab Five" compete yesterday, Kate decided that a congratulations was in order and walked right up to the team. Even though we were dying for a Kate Middleton-Gabby Douglas meet and greet, the gold-medal winner didn't seem to tweet any specifics about the meeting like her teammates did. We can't be 100 percent sure what they discussed, but judging by the gymnasts' tweets, fashion was the natural topic of conversation. Aly Raisman was definitely a fan of the duchess' wardrobe, tweeting:

Just met princess Kate with @jordyn_wieber @kyla_ross96 & @gabrielledoug she is so beautiful & so nice! I told her I loved her style lol :)

— Alexandra Raisman (@Aly_Raisman) August 5, 2012

Jordyn Wieber couldn't believe her luck either, tweeting:

Can't believe I just met Princess Kate Middleton! She was in the crowd at the competition and she stood up to talk to us! #honored

— Jordyn Wieber (@jordyn_wieber) August 5, 2012

Yesterday we met the Duchess, Kate Middleton! She was so nice and she told us she loved our leotards!instagr.am/p/N_u73yPVoN/

Even though the girls seemed pretty stoked to gush about their meeting with the Duchess of Cambridge, we have a feeling Kate would've used the same "honored" hash tag to describe how in awe she was to meet the Team USA gymnasts (if she maintained a Twitter account, that is).

Check out the Jordyn Wieber's Instagram of her team's royal introduction. Who would you be more honored to meet: Kate Middleton or the Team USA gymnasts?

Lucky girls, these are the golden days.

Please stop referring to the The Duchess of Cambridge as Kate Middleton!

[pete cole]

We call her Kate and no one but a few Americans complain

[Wintersoldier7020]

Kate doesn't have class. The word 'class' only means classification...as in lower class, middle class and upper class. The Duchess of Cambridge is sophisticated/graceful. We Americans say silly and improper things without knowing it ...meanwhile the world laughs.

well written.

Dear Huff Post. Her name is the Duchess of Cambridge.

Do you think Huff Post doesn't know this?

yes lmao

All Europeans secretly want to be Americans.

I'm sure they were a whole lot more excited about seeing her than barry's wife.

[RickM1969]

03:25 PM on 08/07/2012

Who is this barry you are talking about? If you mean President Barack Obama then say so. And I don't get what you have against the first lady, Michelle.

[mary collins finn]

Thank you. Earlier in this thread I saw many comments critiquing the young athletes' various ways of referring to the Dutchess of Cambridge. Yet I have read people like birdpate above refer to first lady Michelle Obama as Barry's wife and worse. Whether or not you support her politically, I think the manner of referring to America's first lady is way more important than how some excited teenagers refer to a foreign and still minor royal.

[sfbbmom]

10:50 PM on 08/07/2012

While I disliked President Bush and his policies, I never insulted his wife. This is too low.

[m1jones]

Are all the young women on this program wearing Kate Middleton wigs?

Where can I buy one? I want to look like an idiot at a party.

[Anne Mccormick]

12:12 AM on 08/08/2012

think you can do that without the wig.

[seriouslyfalling]

02:00 AM on 08/09/2012

Don't worry about it...your comment makes you look like enough of an idiot. In fact, a wig might be an improvement!

[KevvyP]

02:27 PM on 08/07/2012

In other 'news', American's don't give a s#!t about Kate Middleton!!

[mary collins finn]

03:55 PM on 08/07/2012

You sound like you don't know which side of the Atlantic you live on. Michelle Obama, whether you like it or not , is America's first lady. The Dutchess of Cambridge has nothing to do with us - she is a new- on- the -scene minor royal. Aren't you even a little embarrassed at sounding like a dumb(star)struck pre teen? Or maybe that's what you are.

[kellygrrrl]

Classy Lady!

[Juanita Henry]

How about this... A young girl from a moderate to middle income 'single-parent' home for all intent and purposes whose mom is trying to maintain her residence with other children and support the Olympic dream of her child far from home. It is VERY expensive! She filed bankruptcy earlier this year (another family is in foreclosure). Her daughteer is so excited she won an unexpected gold medal (because she is considered to be the weak link in the chain). She googles her name and discovers everyone is discussing her hair... she is devastated. (We know what it means to teenagers to be accepted and to fit in.) She asks "What is wrong with my hair?" You can see it in her continance that she is hurt and NOW she is conscious of being judged.. not for her gymnastics, but by small-minded people that couldn't possibly have children because they wouldn't want any one to be that MEAN SPIRITED toward their child.

They are discussing 'fashion' with the Duchess. I don't think that has been on the top of Gabby's list of priorities. No, I don't think she was tweeting about her meeting with royalty. I hope the next Olympics she will be prepared. Don't turn on the TV, read the newspapers, magazines, tweet or email. Focus at the job at hand and don't let anyone take her off her mark and become the Michael Phelps of gymnastics... She will do it!

[Huah]

What a wonderful gesture by Duchess Kate. The "Fab Five" has achieved their own fame now. And yes, I'm an unabashed Kate Middleton fan too! Go USA!

[geldonski]

What a fraud. She is just there just to be seen. She could care less.

Kate Middleton is a beautiful lady - both in appearance and personality.

[TheLadyAnne]

Oh yeah, cause you met her right ? So you much really know alot about her personality

Dear Ms Snark. Gracious smiles speak volumes.

Comparing this to the old, republican white guy's behavior in London........and I am embarrassed all over again.
