Prince William makes secret visit to local country pub – ‘everyone was a bit shocked’
According to the Daily Mail, the future King, 43, was visiting the town of Mere for official Duchy of Cornwall business when he and several associates called in to The Walnut Tree Inn.
Rocking a pair of green Wellington boots, William, who entered the establishment with seven others, including three security staff, enjoyed a pub lunch of a burger and fries costing £18.95, which he washed down with a lemonade. The pub’s owner, William Friend-James, said it “was a pleasure” to host His Royal Highness.
“We took a booking about a week ago for nine people on two separate tables, but didn’t know who it was. So everyone was a bit shocked when the Prince of Wales walked in,” he explained.
According to staff, the group’s bill came to £250, and they left a ten per cent tip of £25.
