Prince William is a "romantic at heart" and used to organise secret cinema and pub trips with Princess Kate, a former royal butler has revealed.<\/p>\n
Grant Harrold worked as King Charles' personal butler between 2004 and 2011 and even attended Kate and William's wedding. <\/p>\n
Speaking on behalf of Slingo, Harrold lifted the lid on the Waleses' relationship during that time. He even said he was once on hand to help William organise a special Valentine's Day treat for his missus.<\/p>\n

Harrold said: "William is a romantic at heart. I remember him asking me to help with a candlelit dinner for Kate to celebrate Valentine\u2019s Day. It was the Valentine's after they got engaged and shortly before their wedding. I was so happy to be involved. I can\u2019t remember exactly what was served but I\u2019m sure William chose Kate\u2019s favourite dessert. He\u2019s got a romantic side."<\/p>\n
He also revealed how the Waleses were "down to Earth" and engaged in several everyday activities you might not expect from royals – such as pub trips. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Harrold continued: "I remember them ordering curries to the house and organising secret cinema trips. When they lived in Tetbury, I remember going to the local pub and Kate and William were just sitting in there having a drink. We had a nice chat. They were so normal and like any other couple. And the locals just left them alone."<\/span><\/p>\n Obviously mind, given their fame, there were some aspects that were different to the pub trips the rest of us enjoy. Harrold explained: "<\/span>They wouldn\u2019t have been able to drive as they were drinking so they\u2019d usually have a plain clothed bodyguard sat a few tables away to give them privacy."<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Recounting another instance where he spotted William out and about, he said: "I also remember bumping into William at a Tesco garage. He tapped me on the shoulder and I didn\u2019t recognise him at first. He was wearing a helmet and he was on his motorbike and had to lift his visor so I could see his face."<\/span><\/p>\n For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletter by clicking <\/i><\/b>here<\/i><\/b>.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
