Prince William leaves Kate in stitches as he takes restaurant booking for unsuspecting customer

When you call up your favourite local restaurant to book a table, the last thing you'd probably expect to hear is the voice of Prince William on the other end of the phone.

But that was exactly what happened to one unsuspecting customer as the Prince and Princess of Wales paid a royal visit to The Indian Streatery in Birmingham on Thursday, April 20. As the couple were being treated to a cocktail masterclass at the restaurant, the phone rang - and much to the surprise of the staff, William picked it up to take the table request, BirminghamLive reports.

The Prince negotiated a time with the customer, and could be heard asking: "Maybe half past two? In about an hour, does that work for you? Oh, you've got a train at three - ok. I think you can probably get in at half past two, that would be fine... or maybe quarter past two?"
