Once described as 'One Pint Willy,' Prince William spotted at Wetherspoons, what did he drink?

Prince William’s cousin Zara Tindall’s husband Mike Tindall once referred to the Prince of Wales as ‘One Pint Willy.’

It has been a busy couple of days for Prince William and his wife, Catherine, Princess of Wales. The Princess of Wales made an emotional return to the Royal Marsden Hospital which has been named as the hospital where she underwent preventative chemotherapy.

Catherine, Princess of Wales, has revealed that she is in remission from cancer and in a post on social media, wrote: “I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to The Royal Marsden for looking after me so well during the past year. My heartfelt thanks goes to all those who have quietly walked alongside William and me as we have navigated everything. We couldn’t have asked for more. The care and advice we have received throughout my time as a patient has been exceptional. In my new role as Joint Patron of The Royal Marsden, my hope is that by supporting groundbreaking research and clinical excellence, as well as promoting patient and family wellbeing, we might save many more lives, and transform the experience of all those impacted by cancer.
