00:00for the future king isn't always a walk in the park and Kate Middleton knows this better than
00:05anyone. On Monday, May 26th, the British magazine Hello! revealed an incredible incident that
00:12happened to the Princess of Wales back in 2020. Winning the heart of a prince hasn't always been
00:18easy for Kate Middleton and while the now happily married couple radiates unity and joy, the Princess
00:24of Wales still finds herself in some truly unexpected situations. On August 5th, 2020,
00:31Prince William and his wife visited residents at the Shire Hall Care Home in Cardiff, Wales,
00:36a place they had previously visited. It was a chance to reconnect with one particularly colourful
00:42resident, Joan Drew Smith. To everyone's surprise, the elderly woman pointed at Kate and asked Prince
00:48William, is that your assistant? A moment that could have been awkward turned into a light-hearted
00:54one as the royal couple burst into laughter. Unfazed, the future queen responded with a wide smile.
01:01Well, that's true. I am your assistant and I have been for a long time.
01:07Kate and William had fond memories of their earlier encounter with the outspoken Joan Drew Smith,
01:12who had previously told them, using rather colourful language, that they were completely hopeless at
01:17bingo. Her refreshing honesty had clearly charmed Prince William, who told staff at the care home,
01:23I love Joan. She's brilliant. I wish everyone were as honest as she is.
01:30Kate Middleton and Prince William, a shared sense of humour. That classic British sense of humour isn't
01:36just Kate's trait, it's something she shares with her husband. While he may appear a bit serious on
01:41the outside, Prince William has proven himself to be quite the joker. One memorable example? In 2017,
01:48he was caught on camera dancing to hip-hop in a nightclub during a ski trip to Switzerland.
01:54Footage that quickly went viral. Speaking to BBC Radio 1, the future king joked about the incident
02:01when asked if he planned to attend a concert. I've gotten into enough trouble for my dance moves lately,
02:07so I think it's best if I sit this one out.
02:18I think it's best if I sit this one out.
02:26Complimented on her beauty in Glasgow, Prince William steps in, and it's hilarious.
02:32On May 22nd, during a ship christening ceremony held in Glasgow, Scotland, Kate Middleton received
02:38a compliment from a royal fan, prompting Prince William to chime in with a hilarious, self-deprecating remark.
02:44On Thursday, May 22nd, Kate Middleton took part in her very first ship christening ceremony on the
02:51River Clyde in Scotland. Accompanied by Prince William, the sponsor of the HMS Glasgow, a Royal
02:57Navy ship, a role she was given in June 2021, played an important part in the event.
03:04She was tasked with performing the traditional bottle-smashing ritual, throwing a bottle of
03:09local whisky, a symbol of Scottish heritage, against the hull of the ship. The Princess of
03:15Wales carried out the ritual flawlessly. For this special day, filled with joy and good spirits,
03:21judging by her cheerful expressions and her eagerness to meet employees of BA Systems,
03:26Kate Middleton looked stunning. As always during her royal engagements, she wore a very elegant outfit
03:32that did not go unnoticed. She donned a navy and white nautical-inspired coat dress by the British
03:37brand Susanna London, priced at £1,850. She completed the look with a striking matching hat
03:45by Philip Treacy. The same one she wore to the 2024 Trooping the Colour, according to the Daily Mail,
03:52and a pair of beige heels. As the royal couple departed after meeting the ship's crew,
03:58its designers and students still in training, an amusing scene unfolded.
