Watch: Prince William, Kate Middleton's Annual Income Revealed in ReportIt's safe to say "jokester" can be added to Kate Middleton's titles. The Princess of Wales was greeting well-wishers after attending the royal family's annual Christmas church service at Sandringham when a potential mishap turned into a lighthearted moment. While chatting with a member of the public who had gathered at the royal family's private estate in Norfolk, as seen in a video published by The Sun, a loud cracking sound came from a few people down. Kate immediately walked over to check on a man whose chair had broken, asking, "Are you OK?" The man laughed off the incident, saying, "I'm fine, thank you for caring. It's all good." Then, after Kate asked if the broken chair was his seat, he explained, "It's a little short, so I wanted to stand. It's alright. I'm standing; I'm still standing." The pair shared a laugh while Kate grabbed his arm before continuing to greet other people in the vicinity, but then the 43-year-old engaged one more time with the man, who joked that there might be a "weight limit" for the chair, adding that this was "before Christmas dinner."readPrince William and Kate Middleton Debut Never-Before-Seen Photos While Sharing 2025 ReflectionsIt was then that Kate quipped, "Too many mince pies!" before moving on.

"Somebody I didn't know," Camilla, who was partaking in a conversation on gender-based violence with BBC commentator John Hunt and his daughter Amy Hunt. "I was reading my book, and this boy-man-attacked me, and I did fight back. I remember getting off the train and my mother looking at me and saying, 'Why is your hair standing on end, and why is a button missing from your coat?'" "I had been attacked," she continued, "but I remember anger, and I was so furious about it, and it sort of lurked for many years."

Andrew continued, "With His Majesty's agreement, we feel I must now go a step further. I will therefore no longer use my title or the honours which have been conferred upon me. As I have said previously, I vigorously deny the accusations against me." Samir Hussein/WireImageKing Charles III and Prince William Make Rare Appearance Togeth
