The prince and princess chose a pub lunch over a posh banquet
Cambridge is a place loved by royals. So much so, the city gained a new Duke and Duchess in 2011 after Prince William and Princess Kate got married.
While the couple held the titles of Duke and Duchess of the city, they visited Cambridge many times. There is one Cambridge pub that people may not realise that the future king and queen dined at in 2012.
This is the Fort St George, one of Cambridge’s oldest and most well-known riverside pubs. Although they were invited to a posh banquet at the University of Cambridge, the pair turned it down to enjoy a trip to the Fort St George.
According to news clippings from the time, Kate and William enjoyed sandwiches, chips, and mini burgers. At the time of their 2012 visit, Kate was early into her pregnancy with Prince George.
Today, the pub is still as popular with us commoners, as well as royals. It is situated on the popular Midsummer Common, and is the perfect place to visit to admire the River Cam, as well as soak up some sun.
The Greene King pub offers traditional pub grub, including Sunday Roasts. There are also a range of cold crisp drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, to enjoy in the nice weather.
