Prince William joked with members of the public yesterday about his less than successful attempts to go incognito during train trips back and forth to Anglesey. Speaking with people at St Thomas’s Church in Swansea, the future King revealed he'd just met a woman in Anglesey who used to serve him his tea during his supposedly "discreet" train journeys.
According to the new Prince of Wales, during such trips, he would "sit in the corner" wearing a baseball cap. However, his disguise hadn't proven to be anywhere near as effective as he'd hoped, with the woman knowing exactly who he was.

Clearly amused by his own antics, Prince William recalled: "She said 'I served you your tea a few times when you were on the Holyhead service'. I used to sit in the corner with my baseball cap on trying to be discreet. And she would come up and say 'like a cup of tea sir?'"
Those seated in the group around him shared a chuckle at the funny story, as Prince William groaned jokingly at his own less than convincing attempts at going undercover.
The new Prince and Princess of Wales have this week embarked on their first official royal tour of Wales since receiving their titles, where they have met with various communities and learned more about the important work of key charitable organisations.
The royal couple, who are said to have "deep affection" for Wales, made their first family home in Anglesey as newlyweds, with the four-bedroom country house being Prince George's very first home.
Prince William, who undertook his first royal engagement in Wales as a young boy, also graduated from the Search and Rescue Training Unit at RAF Valley in Anglesey while undergoing helicopter pilot training with the Royal Air Force's Search and Rescue Force.
