During the height of the coronavirus pandemic in 2021, Prince William and Princess Kate shared a humorous and heartwarming moment that has recently gone viral again.
The story involves Prince William’s lighthearted interaction with a 96-year-old lady named Betty Magee, whom he met at Bay Lodge Care Home in Edinburgh while visiting Scotland.
Kate Reacting to Lady Wanting To Kiss William
In a video call with Princess Kate in May of that year, Prince William recounted the amusing encounter.
He said, “I got propositioned by a 96-year-old lady called Betty yesterday who wanted to kiss me.” Kate, clearly entertained, responded with a playful quip, “This is what happens when I’m not around.”
This delightful exchange has since resurfaced on TikTok, where it garnered 43,900 likes and 218,300 views.
The video was captioned with an enthusiastic message: “BRO idk how I didn’t know till today that William & Catherine interviews are the most fun thing to watch. They’re so funny bro i can not.”
The charming interaction occurred while William and Betty were enjoying ice cream together.
Betty cheekily remarked, “It’s customary in these parts to give a lady a kiss on the cheek.” Prince William, ever the gentleman, replied, “Oh, you are sweet. You’ll make me blush. When the rules relax more, I will come back and give you a kiss on the cheek, Betty.”
Prince William shared this endearing story during a Zoom interview with actors Emma Stone and Emma Thompson.
He added, “She’s in a care home with her daughter, and I said, ‘Betty, if I… nah… I’m going to get slapped on the back of the head for being, you know, inappropriate, social distancing.’ And she said, ‘I’ll have you afterwards then.’ She was quite a character.”
To show their gratitude for the tireless efforts of Britain’s National Health Service workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, William and Kate hosted a special screening of Cruella for them.
