Princess Kate Was Mistaken for Prince William's Assistant—& Her Response Deserves a Crown
Since their marriage in 2011, Prince William and Princess Catherine have been inseparable. They've embarked on numerous tours around the world, in addition to extensive charity work in the United Kingdom. The pair, known to be quite affable, showed their humorous side in a recently resurfaced quip during a 2020 trip to Cardiff. In particular, it was Princess Catherine who came in with a lighthearted line in response to an innocent misidentification. WPA Pool/Pool/Getty Images In 2020, the royal couple paid a visit to Shire Hall Care Home in Cardiff, the capital of Wales. There, they reunited with Joan Drew-Smith (pictured above), a resident who had previously participated in an online bingo event the prince and princess had hosted. Per Hello!, after reuniting, Prince William said to Drew-Smith, "Hello Joan, do you remember we did the bingo with you? You said we weren't very good!" "Yes. You did a bloody s****y job," was the elderly resident's spry reply. WPA Pool/Pool/Getty Images Because of the pandemic, the then duke and duchess were both sporting face masks. Prince William explained this to Drew-Smith: "We have to wear masks because of the virus, but it's difficult to hear sometimes when you can't see someone's mouth." The gear lead to a quirky mix-up, when Drew-Smith then gestured to the Princess of Wales and quipped, "Is that your assistant?" Ever graceful, Princess Catherine laughed and said, ""Well I am your assistant! I have been for a long time!" as she affectionately put a hand on her husband's shoulder. The now-Prince of Wales was far from offended, later remarking, "I love Joan, she's brilliant. If only everyone was as honest as her." More recently, Their Royal Highnesses attended the naming ceremony of HMS Glasgow in Scotland last week. "A pleasure to meet with members of the Ship's Company and their families, as well as BAE Systems' Shipbuilding Academy apprentices and graduates, and some of the incredibly skillful teams involved in the building of the ship," they wrote on Instagram. The photo shows the pair debarking from the plank, steps in synch. Proving, as always, that they've got each others' backs. Want all the latest royal news sent right to your inbox? Subscribe here.

Kate Middleton's Facial Expressions Were Prince Louis-Level at Yesterday's Outing
Prince Louis has won the hearts of royal fans with his cheeky moments and meme-worthy expressions at several public events. For instance, during his grandad's coronation ceremony in 2023, he stole the show with his silly antics. Then, during last year's Trooping the Colour, he showed off his dance moves and made funny faces while joining his family on the palace balcony. Once again, the young royal entertained fans with his playful personality when he attended the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day. And now, his mom is following suit. This week, Princess Catherine joined her husband, Prince William, at the official naming ceremony of the HMS Glasgow. On Instagram, the couple shared highlights from the event and wrote, "Everything is looking ship shape! A pleasure to meet with members of the Ship's Company and their families, as well as BAE Systems' Shipbuilding Academy apprentices and graduates, and some of the incredibly skillful teams involved in the building of the ship." Per usual, the princess looked stunning in her navy and white ensemble, but I couldn't help but notice that she was much more expressive during the royal outing. For example, after boarding the ship, the princess was quite animated as she spoke with team members, using hand gestures and speaking with raised eyebrows. Also, in one standout photo, the princess is captured in the middle of a friendly pipe-building competition with her husband. Towards the end, when the royal mom is declared the winner, her piece begins to fall apart—and her facial expression is priceless. Andy Barr -Middleton is also pictured bursting into laughter after her husband teases, "Perfectly timed," from across the table.

Samir Hussein/WireImage It looks like the proud mom passed down more than just her love of photography. Perhaps this means we'll see more meme-worthy snaps of the mother-son duo together? (I certainly hope so.) Want all the latest royal family news sent right to your inbox? Click here.
