Boman is among many royal well-wishers who want to meet the couple, but it was the way he went about it that made the whole world support his dream.
Mr Kohinoor became the star of a social media campaign after he expressed his desire to meet the royals. The misspelt hashtag “#WillKatMeetMe” was used on Twitter.

The elderly restaurateur even invited Prince George’s parents to dine at his local eatery Britannia & Co., which is known across the region for its cuisine and décor featuring royal family memorabilia.
While the busy royal couple didn’t have time to visit the restaurant during their short stay in Mumbai, they did invite the 93-year-old to their hotel for a private meeting.
“Their Royal Highnesses heard about his lovely comments to the press and his social media campaign about his hopes to meet them upon landing on Sunday,” a spokesperson for Kensington Palace said.
Catherine and William were delighted to meet the 93-year-old!
“They would have loved to visit his restaurant, but with time tight, staff from The British Deputy High Commission went to visit him in person to invite him to the Taj to say hello before last night’s gala.
“They spent five minutes chatting and laughing and Their Royal Highnesses were very grateful for his enthusiasm and warmth.”
Sharing a delightful snap of the sweet encounter, it’s clear Boman, who describes himself as himself the “fan of the royal family number one”, was overjoyed.
