Prince William's witty response when child asks 'is Prince William coming?'
Prince William delighted onlookers with a touch of humour during a Royal engagement. The future monarch was greeting Royal fans near Windsor Castle on May 7, 2023, just before the Coronation Concert for King Charles, when he was called over to the barrier by a young boy.
The child asked him whether he had seen Prince William, as he eagerly awaited his chance to meet him. The boy's question prompted a playful response from the Prince: "Do you know when Prince William is going to come?" To which Prince William quipped: "I don't know! I don't know where he is. Have you seen him yet? Do you know where he is?".
The boy speculated that perhaps Prince William was further down, mingling with the crowd, and the Prince played along, saying: "Did he go that way? He will be here any moment soon."
Eventually, Prince William dropped the pretence and asked the boy if he knew who he was speaking to. The boy's guess, "The Government?", sent Prince William into fits of laughter.
While conceding he might look like 'The Government', Prince William gently corrected the boy, revealing that he was indeed Prince William himself.
The boy's reaction was one of disbelief as he turned to confirm with his mother, exclaiming: "Oh... He is Prince William, mummy."
The crowd shared a collective chuckle and expressed their gratitude for the charming interaction before Prince William continued his engagements, leaving behind a memorable encounter.
The interaction was recently reposted by Instagram user @katemiddletonprincessofwalesuk, with the caption stating: "The lovely moment between Prince William and a little boy who asks him if he knows if Prince William is going to come to greet the crowds because he is waiting for him.
"William's response is the best. Don't miss the boy's reaction when he realises that he has been speaking to William all along!"
Commenting on the video, one user remarked: "Darling! And I love how he didn't say, 'Prince William.' Just "William. " He's the nicest and seems so down to earth."
Another user chimed in: "He is going to be a fabulous King for the People with his beautiful Queen! I hope I will be alive to see it."
A third user commented: "Aww out of the mouths of Children they come out with anything and Prince William saying I'm not the Government so funny. Bless him."
Yet another user added: "This is so lovely a wonderful memory for the little boy to cherish."
