William and Kate were spotted on the tube as they made their way to a pub today (Thursday, May 4)!
Royal fans flooded to social media to gush over the royal couple as they mingled with Londoners just days ahead of the coronation.
William and Kate on the tube
Today saw William and Kate stun Londoners by taking a trip on the tube.
The royal couple hopped onboard the Elizabeth Line for the first time this morning at Acton, West London. They rode on the tube for three stops before getting off at Tottenham Court Road.
Arriving at Acton station, the Prince and Princess of Wales got through the barriers by tapping their Oyster cards. Aboard the tube, the royal couple spoke to Transport For London (TFL) staff.
At one point on the journey, Kate could be heard speaking about the upcoming coronation. “Yes, it’s going to be a busy time. We’re getting there. I still feel like we’re trying to get ducks in a row,” she said.
Stunned commuters watched as Kate and William alighted at Tottenham Court Road before taking the escalators up to Dean Street.
William and Kate head to the pub
The royal couple then continued on their journey, heading into Soho. Leaving the station, William and Kate completed the short walk to the Dog and Duck Pub – a tavern once frequented by George Orwell.
The royal couple were seen enjoying pints of cider at the pub. They also met members of staff from other businesses in the area that are preparing for the coronation weekend. They then went behind the bar, where William pulled the “perfect pint”. It was the first pint of Kingmaker – a pale ale brewed for the coronation – that was ever poured.
Afterward, the royal couple met the crowds outside and posed for selfies.
