This is the moment Prince William did not respond when asked by someone ‘William, how’s Catherine?’.
It happened during William’s visit to Wrexham FC and the town to mark St David’s Day last Friday while Kate continues to recover from abdominal surgery.
During the royal visit he pulled a pint at The Turf Pub, downed a shot, and later spoke with pupils at All Saint’s Primary School in the town.
Pupils gave William a bouquet of flowers for Kate and he said: ‘I’ll pass them onto Catherine as well, thank you very much.’
She is away from official royal engagements until after Easter as Kensington Palace confirmed her recovery is going ‘well’.
It is understood Kate’s return to official duties will depend on medical advice nearer the time.
The latest statement from Kensington Palace about Kate’s recovery reads: ‘Kensington Palace made it clear in January the timelines of the princess’ recovery and we’d only be providing significant updates. That guidance stands.’
The last time she was seen in public was on Christmas Day at Sandringham in Norfolk.

Kate was admitted to The London Clinic on January 16 for abdominal surgery and left the hospital on January 29.
She has been recovering at Adelaide Cottage in the grounds of Windsor since.
William temporarily stepped back from his royal role to help care for Kate and the children but sprang back into action for an investiture at Windsor Castle and the London Air Ambulance annual fundraising gala at the start of February.
The London Clinic was also where King Charles was admitted for treatment on his enlarged prostate.
