Prince William was spotted telling his wife Kate Middleton to politely get a move on while she was in the middle of a deep conversation with the bride at yesterday's royal wedding.
The Prince and Princess of Wales were among the guests invited along to the wedding of Crown Prince Hussein, 28 and his Saudi Arabian bride Rajwa Al saif, 29 in Jordan.
The royal couple joined a queue to greet the newlyweds and a video has emerged showing Kate enthusiastically chatting to the Rajwa while William told her "chop chop" as he encouraged his wife to hurry along.
In the clip, the future King appears to be slightly restless while his wife compliments the new bride and calmly has a long conversation with her while the other guests wait in line, the Mirror reports.
Kate appears to notice William's edginess, which was likely caused by the long line of guests waiting to greet the couple, and she moves away but continues to converse with the bride until the very end of their exchange.
William and Catherine were surprise guests at the wedding ceremony which Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi also attended.
King Abdullah II and Queen Rania of Jordan proudly watched on as their son tied the knot during an Islamic marriage ceremony known as a "katb ktab".
The ceremony was held in a gazebo in the garden of the Zahran Palace and was conducted by the Royal Hashemite Court Imam Dr Ahmed Al Khalaileh.
The King and Queen of Jordan greeted their son and daughter-in-law's guests when they arrived and warmly shook hands and kissed the Prince and Princess of Wales.
William nodded his head as a sign of respect when he met the King and Kate curtseyed.
After the ceremony, several women performed Zaghrata - ululation - which is a joyous sound known to be used to express happiness at Jordanian and Arab celebrations, as the newly-weds greeted their guests.
Kate and William have ties with Jordan with Kate's family living in Amman for a couple of years when she was a young girl in the mid 1980s.
The couple also enjoyed a family holiday to the Middle East country in 2021 with their kids.
Queen Rania is a member of the Earthshot Prize Council which is the judging panel for William's environmental prize which will be staged in Singapore this year.
The Prince of Wales paid a visit to Jordan in 2019 and was joined on a number of official visits by Crown Prince Hussein who he hugged after the ceremony.
The event was screened live online and the prince was spotted chatting to the bride while pointing to the very long train of her exquisite wedding dress.
William and Kate's trip to Jordan was not known to be happening and their arrival was only confirmed by Jordanian state media a few hours before the start of the wedding ceremony.
The wedding comes after a difficult time for Jordan's monarchy including a public feud between the King and his half-brother with some royal commentators interpreting the national celebrations as a way of shoring up public support at a time of ongoing economic difficulties.
