Prince William and Kate Middleton are one of the most photographed and well-known couples in the world, particularly in the United Kingdom.

According to Express.co.uk, the Princess of Wales was once mistaken for an aide to her husband, who is next in line to the throne.

The mix-up occurred several years ago when the couple was visiting the Shire Hall Care Home in Cardiff in August 2021.

During their visit, when they were introduced to resident Joan Drew-Smith, 87, she pointed to Kate and asked William, “Is that your assistant?”

When Kate Middleton heard this, she burst out laughing and turned to her husband, saying, “Well, I am your assistant.” She added. “I have been for a long time!”

During their visit to the care home, the couple had been entertaining the residents with a bingo game via video conference during the lockdown. They read out the numbers via video link and returned to the nursing home to see how the residents liked the game.

On Saturday, February 25th, 2023, the couple returned to Cardiff to attend the rugby Six Nations match between Wales and England at the Principality Stadium. According to the Mirror, they also brought their oldest son, Prince George, along for the occasion.

They wore England and Wales scarves to show their support for their respective teams. However, Kate’s team ended up losing the match.
