“Hey, Pops!”
Kate and Prince William were visiting Leicester on Wednesday to honour Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, chairman of the city’s beloved football club, who sadly recently died in a helicopter accident.
When asked about her children, Kate was more than happy to have a chat, with one punter noting she shared a particularly cute detail about Wills.
