William recalls: « She said, ‘I served you your tea several times when you were in service at Holyhead.’ I used to sit in the corner with my baseball cap trying to be inconspicuous. She would tap me on the shoulder and say, ‘Like a cup of tea, sir?’ »

He added that it was « very nice » in the video shared by the Daily mail.

William made the comments as he and Kate Middleton made their first official visit to Wales with their new titles of Prince and Princess of Wales.
