Prince William watches Scottish Cup Final with frontline workers in Edinburgh bar

Prince William took time out of his busy schedule to relax with some key workers and watch the Scottish Cup Final in an Edinburgh bar.

The Prince, who is in Scotland for a week long visit and plans to hold a drive in cinema event for NHS staff at Hollyrood, was filmed enjoying the big match at Cold Town House in the Grassmarket.

The Duke of Cambridge popped into the bar, which is overlooked by Edinburgh Castle, to meet frontline emergency workers and take in the televised action of Hibs versus St Johnstone at Hampden Park.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s Twitter account read: " #ScottishCup final set up!

" Taking this opportunity to thank Emergency Responders for their dedication and commitment over the last year."

After Hibs lost out to a first half Shaun Rooney header, the account later added: “Congratulations St Johnstone on winning the #ScottishCup.”

Prince William was said to be glued to the match as he chatted to the group of invited frontline workers.

The Prince also tested his touch skills during a football drill challenge on Friday at Ainslie Park Stadium in Edinburgh, home of The Spartans FC.

He said of his Scottish trip: "As we try to emerge from a long period of uncertainty and turmoil, I am grateful for the chance I will get this week to really listen, with humility and compassion, to many people in Scotland, from all walks of life, from different traditions, and from all faiths, and none."
