Kate Middleton and Prince William delighted onlookers during their visit to Scotland, where the Prince of Wales had a playful reaction to a spontaneous compliment.
On May 22, the Prince and Princess of Wales were present at the official naming ceremony of HMS Glasgow. As the Royal Navy vessel’s sponsor, Princess Kate, 43, delivered a brief address before carrying out the traditional christening by smashing a bottle of whisky against the hull.
A video posted to Instagram captured a cheerful moment as the royal couple walked past supporters who had gathered to witness the event. One admirer called out to Kate, “You’re beautiful,” before quickly adding, “You too, William!”
During their time in Scotland, the Prince and Princess of Wales—who take on the titles Duke and Duchess of Rothesay while there—attended the ceremony at the BAE Systems shipyard in Scotstoun, Glasgow.
The compliment brought smiles from both royals, and Prince William offered a humorous reply that got a laugh from the crowd: “You don’t have to say that. Don’t worry.”
