Prince William and Kate, the Prince and Princess of Wales, surprised diners with an unexpected visit to a luxurious restaurant in the French Alps resort of Courchevel. The couple, known for their love of skiing, were spotted at the mountainside eatery, prompting fellow guests to take photographs as they departed.
A staff member told The Mail: 'They had a very nice time and were very polite.' One diner remarked: 'I couldn't believe I was having lunch in the same restaurant as Kate and William. They looked adorable in their beanie hats.' The couple's ski attire was described as 'immaculate'.
Courchevel, often called the 'Saint Tropez of the slopes', is a haven for Michelin-starred restaurants and has attracted celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio, the Beckhams, and Elton John. The Waleses first visited the resort in 2016 with their eldest children and reportedly took a skiing trip last year.
In other news, royal commentator Jennie Bond said Prince George, who turns 13 this year and will start secondary school, faces a 'daunting' reality as he braces for a 'testing year'. She noted that William and Catherine are intent on letting him enjoy his childhood without worrying about the future.
