The Princess looked astonished to bump into Jim Embury, who taught her at St Andrew's prep school in Pangbourne, Berkshire.
She cried, "Oh my goodness" and hugged Mr Embury, now a volunteer at the museum.
Kate added: "I do recognise you. I remember the classroom and everything. Wow. That is such a small world. I'm trying to teach my daughter all the things you probably taught me."

When asked by reporters how she was as a pupil, he replied: "I have to say fantastic. It was a great class and she was a great participant and a great kid. It was 25 years ago."

The couple spent time in a session for local mothers and their young children, hearing from them about how The Dracaena Centre has supported them as parents and promoted their children's development through play and creativity.
