Royal kids (opens in new tab): They're obsessed with the same things as kids who aren't going to grow up to rule entire countries (opens in new tab). The more you know, right?
This week, Prince William and Kate Middleton (opens in new tab), Duke and Duchess of Zoom (opens in new tab), took some time out to surprise nursing home residents in Wales. Will and Kate (opens in new tab) didn't just pop in to say hi, though. No, they popped in to take on the very important roles of guest Bingo callers—via video chat, of course.
In adorkable Will and Kate (opens in new tab) fashion, the Cambridges (opens in new tab) called out each number along with its accompanying traditional Bingo nickname. These include fun little rhymes, which are quintessentially dorky and wholesome in a perfectly Will and Kate (opens in new tab) kind of way, of course.
During one of Kate's turns reading the numbers, said rhyme reminded her of her oldest son, Prince George (opens in new tab), and prompted the mother of three to hint at the Future King of England's latest very normal kid obsession: Snakes.
"George would like this one—five and five, snake’s alive," Kate said when she called out the number 55.
