Prince William had a hilarious reaction to Kate Middleton being complimented on her BAFTA dress

The Cambridges are undoubtedly the most talked-about family in the world, with their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis entertaining the public on the regular.

Yes, from Princess Charlotte’s signature sass and Prince George’s surprising nickname to Prince Louis’ hilarious first words, these miniature royals never fail to make viral news.

It was the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge who made news this month however, from their competitiveness when it comes to tennis to the pressures now on them after Megxit.

This week, it was their appearance at the BAFTAs that made news as Prince William’s hilarious reaction to a fan’s compliment went viral.

In a clip that has since garnered over 40,000 views, Kate and William can be seen entering the Royal Albert Hall alongside stars from Brad Pitt to Charlize Theron.

As per usual, Kate was greeted by complimentary calls, with fans shouting out to her that she ‘looked beautiful’.

One crowd member noticed that Kate was getting all the compliments, taking it upon himself to shout ‘So do you Will’.

The royal couple could be seen to burst out laughing, with William hilariously responding: ‘I’ll take that’.
