As the current Prince of Wales and future king of England, it’s no wonder that we see Prince William in his more serious, buttoned-up moments than his silly ones. It’s a bit of a high pressure job! But he really seemed to let loose while making an appearance with Kate Middleton on Tuesday, poking a bit of fun at his wife in a way that got the whole room laughing.
Will and Kate made a surprise visit to Northern Ireland this week.
The prince and princess made an unexpected visit to Ireland on October 14. As People reported, they began their day by visiting the Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service’s Learning and Development College, which is training future firefighters. This is the first time they’ve visited the area since 2022, so it sounds like Northern Ireland was due for a little time with Will and Kate.
They ended their day at Long Meadow Cider.
As their last stop before heading back home, Will and Kate visited Long Meadow Cider, where they met the McKeever family, who has run the farm for three generations.
They didn’t just stop by to tour the farm, either — while they were there, they got involved making the potato apple bread that the farm is famous for.
William teased Kate as they were peeling apples.

As Will and Kate got to work peeling apples for the bread, he took the opportunity to crack a joke as soon as he realized that he was much faster at the task than his wife.
“Do keep up,” he quipped, causing the whole room to erupt into laughter. William’s got jokes!
He also made fun of himself.

Don’t worry — William also took the chance to poke fun at himself, too, while he was rolling out the dough. It was supposed to be a circle, but as you can see in the video above, the end result wasn’t quite the right shape.
“If you look at it this way, it looks like a circle,” William joked. When someone said that it looked more like a rectangle, he replied, “A rectangle, certainly. This is a new variety.”
It’s so fun to see this side of William. He should let his playful side out more often!
