Prince William was handed a drink in a paper cup decorated in the colours of the Union Flag by a group of women wearing yellow crowns, gamely taking a sniff followed by a sip, asking, "Is that a home recipe?"

Kate went on to take a sip too. The prince was later handed further beverages, including a bottle of gin and a can of beer, joking, "I'll take that one with me".

This weekend he was crowned King, alongside Camilla who was crowned Queen, at Westminster Abbey in front of around 2,300 guests including world leaders, celebrities, UK politicians, foreign royalty, everyday heroes and the royal family.
