The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have officially kicked off their tour of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, and the trip began with plenty of laughs and smiles.
Upon visiting Truro Cathedral to support an appeal for its new roof, Catherine was greeted in the same way many women are when passing a group of muscular tradies – with a wolf whistle!
Even though the action could easily be construed as sexist and offensive, William, ever the gentleman, appeared to see the funny side and laughed at the men in response. One builder even grabbed a selfie with them!
While in Cornwall the royals also met young surfers on the beach (and tried out their coolest ‘surfer poses’ for photos) as part of the Wave Project, which teaches kids to surf to help reduce anxiety.
Also on the agenda was pulling pints at Healey’s Cornish Cider Farm and greeting the crowds of waiting admirers, which for one lucky lady meant a hug and a kiss!
Royals fan Linda Moore, 62, told the Daily Mail that she asked William, “‘Can I have a kiss?’ And he said: ‘You can give me a peck on the cheek.’”
She then pushed her luck for a hug and a photo too, to which he replied: “’Oh, go then.’”
She also took the opportunity to compare him to the late Princess of Wales; “I said to him: ‘You look like your mum,’ and he said: ‘I think my mum was better looking’.”
