Kate Middleton and Prince William gave a glimpse into their party side while enjoying a tipple at a student union bar


Kate Middleton and Prince William gave fans a glimpse into their wild college days as they enjoyed a few boozy offerings during a campus visit. The couple famously met during their university days and it's clear that they still know how to let loose!
- Kate Middleton and Prince William enjoyed a few samples from the bar on an official trip to Ulster University's Magee Campus.
- Prince William took a cheeky look at his watch before enjoying his beverage.

Only recently a teenage photo of Kate Middleton and Prince William had royal fans fawning and, if these photos are anything to go by, not much has changed since their college days!
It was an official trip to Northern Ireland that the couple got a little boozy. They were visiting Ulster University's Magee Campus, to hear about how different organizations are engaging across communities, and meeting the young people involved too.
What's a trip without a few refreshments and the royal couple were invited to sample some of the island of Ireland's best-loved food and drinks, including whiskey, soda bread, Tayto crisps, and Guinness.
Royal fans love the flirty banter between Kate Middleton and Prince William and it was more of the same when he said, "I’m just ignoring the time,” before knocking back a whiskey!
Duchess Kate enjoyed a little sip of Guinness, which some say puts any rumors regarding a potential pregnancy to bed.
Although the funny moment took place below a menu board festooned with meals you'd expect at an Irish/British uni—including chips, cheese, and gravy—the royal couple didn't get involved.

They did, however, get involved in a lesson on how to pronounce traditional Irish names. Irish names and the Gaelic language itself, are often a source of confusion for non-Irish people.
Hilariously, the royal couple took a seat beside some students who had laptops open with names like Grainne (sounds like Grawn-ya).
The couple met while both at St Andrew's University in Scotland. Famously, Kate Middleton captured Prince William’s attention on the catwalk—and who could forget her see-through dress? The dress that took them from friend-zone to a romantic connection in no time at all.
