Kate Middleton and Prince William recently enjoyed a visit to Long Meadow Cider farm in Northern Ireland.

Touring the facility, photographers captured a stunning black-and-white portrait of the couple walking through the orchards. In the photo, the pair could be seen smiling, with Kate playfully tugging at her wedding ring.

They were also dressed handsomely, with the Princess layering a corduroy jacket over a button-down vest and turtleneck sweater, which she paired with a long, tailored skirt. Prince William, meanwhile, stuck with his usual navy palette but switched things up slightly with a brown jacket.

Meanwhile, the couple’s visit to the farm was an eventful one, as they put their culinary skills to the test at Bramley Barn, where they were tasked with making the farm's famous potato apple bread. This resulted in a hilarious exchange between William and one of his staff members, who tried to instruct him on how to roll the dough in a circle.

"A circle?" William is quoted by People magazine as saying, which made the entire group burst into laughter. Turning the dough to the side, he quipped, “If you look at it this way, it looks like a circle,” which prompted even more laughter. "A rectangle, sir?" his staffer asked. "A rectangle, certainly. This is a new variety." Then, William playfully turned to Kate and asked, "How has that gone so circular, and this looks like a rectangle?" 

Certainly sounds like it was a fun day for the royals.
