Princess Kate Middleton showcased her down-to-earth nature during a recent visit to Shire Hall Care Home in Cardiff.
The royals, currently on a hiatus from their official duties as the princess continues her recovery from abdominal surgery, encountered an amusing moment when resident Joan Drew-Smith mistook Kate for Prince William's assistant.
During the visit, the 87-year-old Joan playfully pointed towards Kate and quizzically asked Prince William, "Is that your assistant?" The room erupted into laughter, but Kate Middleton, known for her quick wit, didn't miss a beat.
"Well, I am your assistant. I have been for a long time!" the 42-year-old princess humorously quipped to her husband, effortlessly diffusing the situation with her trademark charm.
Kate's lighthearted response echoes her previous comments about her relationship with Prince William. In a moment of jest with a friend, she once remarked, "He's lucky to have me," playfully affirming her importance in their partnership.
Princess Kate's ability to gracefully navigate such moments endears her to the public even more, highlighting her relatable and approachable demeanor despite her royal status.
Since Christmas Day, Princess Kate has been out of the public eye, focusing on her recovery journey following planned abdominal surgery in London on January 16th.
However, her brief appearance at Shire Hall Care Home reminded everyone of her enduring charm and quick wit, leaving a lasting impression on all who had the pleasure of witnessing the delightful exchange.
