It’s perfectly natural to pick up habits from the people you spend the most time with and Prince William is clearly learning from the best—namely his wife, Kate Middleton.
During an outing on Tuesday, March 11, the Prince of Wales stopped by Sporting Khalsa FC in Willenhall, West Midlands, to check out a special referee training course. As a patron of the Football Association, William was there to support its initiative to recruit 1,000 referees from Black, Asian and mixed-heritage backgrounds.
While the visit had a meaningful purpose, it was Prince William’s interactions with the crowd that stood out the most. According to The Mirror, the royal was greeted by “hundreds of schoolchildren,” and in classic Kate fashion, he instinctively crouched down to their level while chatting with them.
