“When I saw her, I wanted to take a picture with her,” says Williams, who is one of PEOPLE’s 25 Women Changing the World. “But then I was like, ‘Should I do a picture or a Snapchat video?’ Obviously, I opted to do that and it was fun!”

And Williams couldn’t pass up the chance to ask Kate all about her world-famous sapphire and diamond engagement ring — much to the royal’s shock.

“She was surprised that I asked her about her ring and she was like, ‘You know?’ And I’m like, ‘Everyone in America knows about your ring!’ She was like, ‘Wow.’ ”

“She was super sweet, super level, so beautiful — she was really nice,” Williams says.
