Prince William and Kate Middleton came up against a harsh critic at a care home in Cardiff yesterday, who had choice words to say about their bingo calling skills. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge previously hosted a bingo session via video call for Shire Hall Care Home and they finally got to meet the winner in person at the care facility - who thought they did a “bloody s****y job” of it.
Sitting down with 87 year old Joan Drew-Smith, the royal couple were seen wearing face masks and keeping a safe distance from the pensioner. As Prince William reminded her of the bingo session, she said, “Yes, you did a bloody s***y job.”
The Cambridges took the criticism in stride however, as the pair laughed and Prince William said, “That’s excellent. Was it the worst job you’d ever seen?”
“I’ve got more to see,” she responded, “Every time you have a party I will just come and have a nose and I will tell you afterwards.”
Afterwards, Prince William praised her for telling “the truth.”
Prince William and Kate surprised pensioners in May when they hosted bingo from their home Anmer Hall in Norfolk. The couple called out numbers over video call, with Kate drawing the first number.
Drew-Smith didn’t hold back on her criticism at the time either, as when Prince William asked her if they did a good job she responded: “Very good. Wasn’t as good as it should have been.”
Their visit to the care home yesterday made headlines as it was the first time that Kate had been seen wearing a face mask in public, opting for one with a dainty floral pattern. Prince William previously wore one for the first time in June, while his stepmother the Duchess of Cornwall followed suit wearing a Liberty face mask for another event.
