Prince William and Kate were mobbed by surprised crowds as they arrived at Borough Market on Thursday.
The Prince and Princess of Wales chopped cheese and served crumble with custard at the famous London attraction, before paying a visit to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) Tower Lifeboat Station in Westminster, which opened in 2023 and is the busiest station in the UK.
The Princess, 44, looked stylish, wearing a formal blazer, paired with a blue shirt, and even made coffees in the market, where she was said to be a “natural”. The couple was immediately greeted by crowds of people.
The RNLI visit later marks a full-circle moment for the royal couple as their first-ever official engagement was connected to the charity. During the February 2011 outing in Anglesey, North Wales, they dedicated a new RNLI lifeboat, called the ‘Hereford Endeavour’.
Kate christened the lifeboat by pouring a bottle of champagne over the boat, before they joined crowds to sing a rendition of “God save the Queen”. It came just three months before their wedding, when the couple was newly engaged.
