Will and Kate called out for their "bloody s***ty" job

But the couple laughed it off. - by Alex Lilly

There aren't many people who can get away with calling out the future King and Queen, but one 87-year-old woman put Prince William and Duchess Catherine in their places at their latest royal outing!

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, both 38, visited South Wales during their recent royal outing and stopped in at Shire Hall Care Home in Cardiff to visit the elderly residents and staff.

This was the same care home that three months prior they had contacted via video link for a chat, and to call out the numbers to their weekly bingo game.

However, when the royal couple met with Joan Drew-Smith, 87, who declared that the bingo calling "wasn't as good as it should have been" back in May, she didn't hold back.

Prince William said: "Hello Joan, do you remember we did the bingo with you? You said we weren't very good!"

Joan cheekily replied: “Yes, you did a bloody s****y job."

Though they were taken aback at first, Will and Kate took it in their stride and laughed it off.

Thankfully, 95-year-old Margaret Stocks, who was the winner of the virtual game, had a more flattering response.

"I did enjoy it. I hadn't played it before," she told them.

"Neither had we!" replied Duchess Catherine. "That's why we were so bad!"

"We enjoyed it just as much as you did," William said. "It was a new experience for us."

Prince William and Duchess Catherine also donned chic reusable face masks for their outing.

Whilst the Duke wore a blue fabric covering, Kate donned the same floral one she'd worn to a previous royal engagement - and it matched perfectly with her recycled Emelia Wickstead floral frock.

"We have to wear masks because of the virus, but it’s difficult to hear sometimes when you can't see someone’s mouth," Prince William told Joan whilst talking to her.

"Is that your assistant?" Joan asked him, pointing at his wife.

But the Duchess didn't hold back when she jumped in: "Well I am your assistant," putting a hand on her husband's shoulder. "I have been for a long time!"

Arcade

The royal couple also visited a games arcade at tourist destination Barry Island.

Will and Kate also visited an amusement arcade on Barry Island, a tourist destination that featured heavily in the British sitcom Gavin and Stacey starring James Corden.

Their visit was to help support Britain’s tourism industry as it tries to “get back on its feet”, but the couple showed off their competitive side in a ball-throwing game.

Though the couple's three children Prince George, seven, Princess Charlotte, five, and Prince Louis, two, were absent, Prince William said of the arcade: "The children would have enjoyed that."
