Prince William let slip an adorable remark about his wife Kate Middleton when the couple stepped out for a joint engagement in Wales this week.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge embarked on their first public walkabout in two years this Tuesday after the coronavirus pandemic prevented such engagements.
They visited a goat farm in Llanvetherine near Abergavenny to mark St David's Day, and also chatted with crowds who braved the cold to come and see the royal couple.
Acknowledging the frosty temperatures, William told the assembled fans: "[Kate] has the coldest hands ever. They say, 'Cold hands, warm heart.'"
In matching warm khaki jackets and identical daffodils pinned to their lapels, the couple looked very much in love as they approach their 11th wedding anniversary next month.
The proud parents also spoke of their three young children and how they've been getting involved on the Queen's farm at Sandringham, where Prince Charles has been working to turn the estate into a fully organic operation.
As they toured Pant Farm, where Gary and Jess Yeomans produce goats’ milk that has supplied a local cheesemaker for the past two decades, William spotted a robot silage sweeper in one of the barns.
Gary explained it could also be used to move feed, and Kate replied: “That was George’s job at half term – moving feed.”
William told his hosts the children had been getting involved , and added: “We are trying some Agroforestry as well.”
The method involves planting crops in between rows of trees to provide healthier soil, higher yields and vital homes for wildlife.

The duke studied agricultural management at Cambridge University in 2014, but it seems the duchess also has farming running in her veins.
Kate, who wore a red scarf, daffodil and gold hoop earrings by Welsh brand Spells of Love, told her hosts: “I was looking into my ancestry and there was someone who was a rare breed goat farmer.
"I will have to find out which one it was. It was just after the First World War.”
