Kate Middleton and Prince William are in Ireland for a three-day visit, including a glitzy reception at the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin - where the Duke make a quick comment about his gran the Queen
Prince William makes cheeky joke about granny the Queen boozing in the pub
Prince William make a cheeky joke about "following" his granny the Queen to the pub during a speech at the home of Guinness.
The Duke of Cambridge visited the Storehouse in Dublin with wife Kate on the first evening of their three-day visit to Ireland.
During the reception the couple enjoyed a pint of the country's famous drink and toasted their hosts in Gaelic, saying "Slainte".
He also referred the Queen's historical visit to the country almost 10 years ago, when she also visited the popular tourist attraction.
Addressing guests from the worlds of sport, film, television and the armed forces, he joked: "In coming to the Guinness Storehouse, we are retracing the footsteps of my grandmother, who was shown how to pour the perfect pint here in 2011.

"Ladies and Gentlemen let me tell you it is not often that I find myself following the Queen to a pub.
"But I am looking forward to testing for myself the theory that Guinness tastes even better in Ireland than overseas."
His comment was met by laughs from the crowd.

The trip, which finishes tomorrow, is Kate and William's first joint visit to the country, and the first official trip abroad by senior royals since Brexit .
They travelled to the country on a commercial Aer Lingus flight.
Earlier in the day they had afternoon tea with the Irish president Michael Higgins, rang the peace bell in the presidential palace and laid a wreath in the garden of rememberance.

A spokesman for Mr Higgins confirmed Brexit and climate change were among the topics discussed.
During the day's engagements William joked about unwittingly "spreading" the coronavirus while meeting well-wishers during his Irish tour.
He poked fun at himself after he questioned a paramedic about whether he thought coverage of the illness was "being a little hyped up" in the media.
Earlier, the Queen wore gloves to present honours during an investiture ceremony, but Buckingham Palace declined to confirm whether the monarch was taking the precaution because of the outbreak.

thedailymirror--2020-03-05--Commons spent £800,000 on gagging clauses and settlements with former staff

The House of Commons has spent hundreds of thousands of pounds on gagging orders and settlements with former employees , new figures have revealed .
House authorities spent more than £808,000 on 15 settlement agreements with departing staff since January 2017 .
Seven of them , totalling £367,016 , contained a confidentiality provision .
A Commons spokesman said confidentiality clauses had not been used in settlement agreements since 2018 .
The House of Lords spent £18,421 on four non-disclosure agreements ( NDAs ) , all of which contained confidentiality clauses , over the same period .
The figures , revealed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the PA news agency , have led to calls for Parliament to `` outlaw '' the use of NDAs in cases of harassment or discrimination .
Sometimes referred to as `` gagging clauses '' , NDAs are legal contracts used to prevent people from discussing confidential information and to keep trade secrets private - but they can also be used to keep allegations of wrongdoing out of the press .
Scrutiny of such agreements in Parliament heightened after Angus Sinclair , a former private secretary to John Bercow , said he was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with an £86,250 pay-off dependent on him signing an NDA barring him from making complaints about his treatment in the House .
Labour MP Jess Phillips said the level of payout unearthed in the figures is `` very worrying '' .
`` Parliamentary inquiries and recent high-profile cases such as Harvey Weinstein have shown how toxic these agreements can be and how they hide the need for institutional change , '' she said .
`` Parliament should outlaw the use of NDAs going forward in any case of harassment or discrimination and show @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of power and money silencing people . ''
She welcomed the Commons not using confidentiality clauses since 2018 .
Tory former women and equalities minister Maria Miller said : `` Allegations of bullying and harassment affecting House of Commons staff have seriously brought into question its management culture .
`` With new leadership of the House of Commons management now in place , it is important that secrecy and cover-up has no place in the running of our Parliament .
`` With almost 3,000 people employed directly by the House of Commons , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ staff , this FOI request demonstrates the need for transparency and accountability in the way such payments are being used . ''
A Commons spokesman said : `` The House of Commons has not used confidentiality clauses as part of settlement agreements ( commonly referred to as NDAs ) since 2018 .
