HELLO! magazine has unearthed a royal anecdote proving that Kate Middleton has a charming answer for everything, even when being mistaken for her husband’s assistant. In 2020, Prince William and Princess Kate visited the residents of a Cardiff retirement home, a few months after playing bingo with them via Zoom.
The couple were reunited with 87-year-old patient Joan Drew-Smith, who was quick to question their bingo skills after their game. They are, after all, game enthusiasts and great competitors. “You may not recognize us, but we played bingo with you and you won,” began Prince William. “But you said we didn’t do a very good job?” “No, you did a crap job,” reiterated the patient. “Excellent!” responded William, laughing out loud, promptly imitated by the rest of the assembly.

“Is this your assistant?” Drew-Smith then asked, pointing to the Princess of Wales, seated next to William, her face half-hidden behind a mask. Amused by the remark, the Brit immediately laughed and replied: “Well, I’m his assistant! I have been for a long time!” Following the resident’s outspokenness, Prince William told the staff he “adored Joan.” “She’s brilliant,” he said after the visit.
