Prince William and wife Kate were hailed by royal fans yesterday (July 4) as they helped celebrate the 75th birthday of the NHS.
The Prince and Princess of Wales surprised guests at a tea party being held by NHS Charities Together in the wellbeing garden of London’s St Thomas’ Hospital.
And, after arriving early to help decorate cakes and set up the tent, the royals were praised for giving an insight into their “real” relationship.
William and Kate celebrate 25th birthday of the NHS
In a video shared on their social media account, William and Kate said: “Happy 75th Birthday NHS! A pleasure to join an extra special @nhscharitiestogether tea party to celebrate just some of the many incredible people that make the NHS what it is!”
The National Health Service was founded 75 years ago today (July 5). And, as patrons of NHS Charities Together, William and Kate were only too happy to lend a hand.
I love them, they are such a beautiful and real couple.
They surprised NHS staff and patients from across the UK at a very special NHS Big Tea party. The couple even arrived early to help lay the tables, put finishing touches on a birthday cake and debate the age-old question – jam or cream first.
Former Great British Bake Off presenter Mel Geidroyc chatted to the royal couple before the party kicked off. Heading towards the scones, William asked her: “So Mel, where do you stand on the jam and cream debate?”
She explained that she goes jam first then cream because “cream is heavier”. Kate agreed and said: “I always do jam and then cream.” Greedy guts William declared: “I go with whichever is closest to me!”
The couple were then seen icing cupcakes, with keen baker Kate giggling at her husband’s attempts with the icing bag.

Another declared: “Too cute for words!” Meanwhile, another commented: “William and Kate a lovely and beautiful couple. We are so lucky to have them.”
