It’s rare for them to carry out official engagements together. But Prince William and his aunt, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, should be paired up for visits more often because they’re quite the double act, according to attendees at an A&P show in the UK.
William, 42, who’s the patron of the Royal Cornwall Agricultural Show, accompanied Sophie, 60, who’s the patron of the Association of Agricultural Show Organisation, to a show in Cornwall.
But when they were offered gin samples, William admitted he might be a bit of a lightweight, saying, “I’ve been caught out with whisky a few too many times. I think, ‘I can do that,’ and then, ‘Oh, no, I couldn’t.’”
But when he spotted Sophie having a second sip, he said, “You’re not allowed to finish it.”
Then he told the people working the stand, “You’ve got to watch her!”
Shot back Sophie, “He’s learned from the best.”
They also sampled a well-known brand of cider. With William quipping, “Everyone remembers where they were when they had their first Rattler, I can tell you that. You remember the first, you don’t remember the last!”
