Prince William and Kate Middleton embarked on their engagements along London’s iconic River Thames this Thursday, engaging with locals at Borough Market, one of the capital’s oldest and most celebrated culinary hotspots. The market is renowned for its high-quality, sustainably sourced produce from Britain and beyond.
Their final stop was Humble Crumble, a London dessert company that began as a single stall and has since grown into multiple venues while building an impressive social media presence. During their visit, they encountered a woman eating at the establishment who appeared to ignore them entirely.
The couple’s interaction with this customer captured on video quickly spread across online platforms, eliciting reactions from thousands of viewers. An X user posted humorously, “These people are like: Anyway…back to my sandwich,” while another user expressed surprise at the customer’s disregard for the royal couple by replying, “Damn! Did she just look at them and continue eating?”
One user remarked with a touch of skepticism, “It would’ve been a whole different game if it was Harry though.” This reference pointed out how Prince William’s younger brother, Harry, often faces unfavorable media scrutiny in the UK.
The video has since generated numerous retweets and comments, sparking conversations among netizens about public reactions to royal engagements. It highlights an interesting dynamic between members of the British Royal Family and everyday Londoners—a perspective rarely captured by traditional news coverage.
