The visit to Borough Market was more than just a royal appearance. Kate Middleton, stylish in a Prince of Wales check blazer, showcased her barista skills by preparing a cappuccino, which she jokingly handed to her husband, Prince William. The coffee was not decaf, prompting William to suggest it should be sold instead. The couple's hands-on approach extended to serving crumble at Humble Crumble, a popular dessert stall. The market, known for its artisanal offerings, provided the perfect backdrop for the royals to connect with the community.

Visit to Bermondsey Beer Mile

Following their market visit, the royal couple explored the Bermondsey Beer Mile, a hub for craft breweries. At Southwark Brewing Company, Kate tried her hand at brewing, stirring a large vat of beer while William enjoyed tasting different cider varieties. The visit highlighted the couple's interest in supporting local businesses and their enthusiasm for engaging with different aspects of British culture.

RNLI Lifeboat Station Engagement

The day's activities concluded with a visit to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) Tower lifeboat station in Westminster. This visit marked a significant moment for the couple, bringing back memories of their first official engagement with the RNLI in 2011.
