Kate Middleton laughed off care home resident mistaking her for Prince William's assistant

Kate Middleton and Prince William seemed to have a joyous time at a care home at the height of the Coronavirus pandemic, and the residents had them in stitches.

On one of their official visits to a care home in Cardiff, Wales, Kate Middleton and her husband had a laugh. Kate and Prince William had previously met the people in the home, however, it had been a virtual meeting when the pair had been the callers during a game of bingo. Some of the residents had hilarious questions and quips for the royal couple, with William, 42, saying he “loved” one of the residents.

Kate Middleton was asked if she’s Prince William’s ‘assistant’ during care home visit

During their care home visit, Kate Middleton and Prince William spoke to many of its residents. Most of them had the future king and queen in stitches or wearing big smiles.

William took a shine to one woman, in particular, 87-year-old Joan.

“We have to wear masks because of the virus, but it’s difficult to hear sometimes when you can’t see someone’s mouth,” William told her. He and Kate donned blue and pink face masks to prevent spreading infection.

Joan, pointing at Kate, responded: “Is that your assistant?”

Amused, Kate put her hand on her husband’s shoulder and laughed. She said: “Well I am your assistant. I have been for a long time!”

Kate and William have been together for more than twenty years. They met at university in 2001 before moving into a house share together in their second year. They began dating in 2002 and married in 2011. The couple share three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

Joan assesses the duke and duchess’ bingo skills

However, Joan wasn’t too keen on their bingo skills. Neither Prince William nor Kate Middleton had forgotten what she’d told them after the game, and made sure to remind her on their care home visit.

William greeted her and said: “Hello Joan, do you remember we did the bingo with you? You said we weren’t very good!” and she replied: “Yes. You did a bloody s***** job.”

The pair were stunned for a few moments before bursting into laughter.

Another resident, Margaret Stocks, 95, who won the game, said she’d never played bingo before. She told the royals “enjoyed” it.

“Neither had we! That’s why we were so bad!” joked Kate, 42, as William added: “We enjoyed it just as much as you did,” William said. “It was a new experience for us.”
