She is the world's most famous supermodel, admired across the world for her beauty.
He is the future King of England, who has recently won the hearts of Australia and New Zealand.
So, what happened when Kate Moss met Prince William?
Surprisingly, the Queen of the catwalk appeared to come off a little shy - and perhaps even flirted with the Duke of Cambridge.
The pair were overheard having a chat by a TV crew as they attended a glittering gala dinner to celebrate the work of The Royal Marsden Hospital at Windsor Castle last night.
Grinning from ear to ear and touching her left arm, Kate asked the Duke: 'Where's your wife?'
She then went on to say: 'She's not here?', to which the Prince appeared to confirm that his wife had not attended the dinner.
Tilting her head to the side and looking up into the Duke's eyes, Kate then smiled and said: 'Such a shame.'
The pair were captured speaking in Waterloo Chamber, where they were surrounded by 220 guests sipping champagne and eating canapés.
According to Sky News, the model, who wore a glamorous black dress, a green and silver bracelet and her hair wavy, finally asked the Duke: 'I'm sure it's nice being home now, right?'
Prince William and his wife have recently returned from a tour of Australia and New Zealand, on which they were accompanied by their son, Prince George.
Earlier in the evening, the Duke of Cambridge had met the dinner's sponsor, fashion designer Ralph Lauren, and immediately apologised for the Duchess's absence, saying: 'I'm sorry my wife's not here, you probably would far rather you saw my wife.'
Mr Lauren, who has announced he is funding an entire new breast cancer centre at the hospital, replied: 'Not at all'.
However, many guests last night will have no doubt been disappointed at the absence of the Duchess of Cambridge, a fashion ambassador if ever there were one.
But royal aides have made clear that she and William want to keep their engagements and charitable projects largely separate (although Kate has previously visited the Royal Marsden with her husband) in order to spread their influence more widely.
Kate Moss was not the only famous face to exchange words with the future King during yesterday's event, which was attended by the likes of model Cara Delvingne, photographer Mario Testino and actresses Cate Blanchett, Emma Watson and Helena Bonham Carter.
The Duke's designer-clad guests (many in Ralph Lauren, naturally) first enjoyed a drinks reception in the historic Waterloo Chamber, built in tribute to the success of Britain’s victory against Napoleon in 1815.
The chamber’s walls are covered with limewood carvings dating back to the 1680s, while the floor is covered with an Indian carpet woven by the inmates of Agra prison for Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee which is thought to be the largest seamless carpet in existence, weighing in at two tonnes.
Mr Lauren, 74, and his wife of 50 years, Ricky, made a rare foray away from their home in the U.S. to attend the event with their three sons.
One, David, is married to the niece of former US President George Bush, model Lauren Bush – or Lauren Lauren, to use her married name.
In the Grand Reception Room, the Duke told the designer: 'It’s a wonderful thing you’re backing, it will be another great addition to the hospital.'
Afterwards, the 200-strong party walked through to the 180-foot long St George’s Hall for a lavish three course dinner.
After meeting Mr and Mrs Lauren and The Royal Marsden’s chairman Ian Molson and chief executive Cally Palmer, the Duke met Emeli Sande before making his way into the Waterloo Chamber.
One of the first people he spoke to was Benedict Cumberbatch, who later said he felt 'guilty' for spending so much time chatting to him.
He said: 'He is just a stand-up guy. I completely forgot to ask him how he got over his jet lag from his trip to Australia because I was there at the same time and I saw all the commotion when he went to Sydney Opera House.
'Hopefully tonight will raise awareness of the work of The Royal Marsden - that’s what we’re here for. Cancer isn’t a disease that needs much awareness but it does need continued funding for research.'
The Duke also chatted to Laura Carmichael, one of three Downton Abbey stars at the event, together with Allen Leech, who plays former chauffeur Tom Branson, and Lily James, who plays Lady Rose MacClare.
Miss Carmichael, whose mother is a radiographer, said: 'We’re halfway through shooting the next series of Downton Abbey but the Duke didn’t ask for any plot details. He is probably waiting until it comes out in September.'
He is the future King of England, who has recently won the hearts of Australia and New Zealand.
