A schoolboy appeared thrilled after meeting Prince William and Kate, declaring he was "never washing his hand again".
The new Prince and Princess of Wales were on a walkabout in Belfast on Thursday, where they met with schoolchildren and crowds of royal fans during a series of royal engagements in Northern Ireland.
One schoolboy appeared smitten with William as he was filmed squealing with joy after shaking hands with the Prince at the event.
A sweet video showed the Prince making his way along a line of school children, telling them: "It's nice to see you!"
Meanwhile, the boy could be heard shouting excitedly: "Go on, I'm never washing this hand again!"
Footage of the encounter emerged as Kate and William paid thanks to Northern Ireland for hosting them.
The couple both shared a message on their official social media pages, writing: "Thank you for having us, Northern Ireland!"
It was on the same walkabout that Kate was confronted by a woman and told she was not "in her own country".
While shaking hands with Kate in Carrickfergus, the woman said: “Nice to meet you but it would be better if it was when you were in your own country.”
The lady, who was wearing an emerald green cardigan and appeared to be videoing the exchange on a mobile phone, added: “Ireland belongs to the Irish.”
The encounter happened in what is a predominantly nationalist area of Belfast.
Though she seemed surprised at the remark, Kate remained composed and laughed it off before going to meet other well-wishers.
William and Kate received an otherwise warm reception as they were greeted by other members of the public who gathered outside the Public Initiative for Prevention of Suicide and Self Harm (PIPS) charity on the city’s Antrim Road.
The royal couple shared an image of the meet and greet on their Instagram page but seemed to crop the woman who made the comment to Kate out of the photograph.
And Kate also exchanged a beaming smile with baby Barney, who showed his teddy off to the princess.
Kate appeared familiar with the stuffed toy, which she named 'Bun 'Bun', before commenting: "I recognise those... our kiddy’s have quite a few of those."
Barney is son of Laura-Ann, a prominent Instagrammer with 172,000 followers, and a keen royalist to boot.
After meeting the royals, the mum said: "What a morning .. I need a lie down from all the excitement."
Hundreds of people had lined the Marine Highway in Carrickfergus as the Prince and Princess of Wales continued their visit to the Co Antrim town.
They shook hands and fist-bumped with local schoolchildren who had waited for hours to catch a glimpse of the royal couple.
The PIPS charity was their first stop of the day, with Lord mayor of Belfast Tina Black and Sinn Fein MP for the constituency John Finucane among those who welcomed the royal couple on arrival.
And the couple also got stuck into a spirited cocktail-making race at an outdoor market in Belfast city centre this afternoon.
The next-in-line-to-the-throne and his wife laughed during the duel to be the quickest to make the potent drink, before William was declared the winner.
