It was decided that Prince William reigned supreme

In the 2012 article, Katie Nicholl wrote: "The couple occasionally ventures to the local pub, the White Eagle, where William enjoys a pint of local bitter and Kate indulges in a glass of white wine, but mostly they stay in watching DVDs."

The two share a playful, competitive spirit

Did you also know that Princess Kate has a penchant for a pint of Guinness? It's true! During a visit to Ireland, the couple attended a special reception at the Guinness Storehouse’s Gravity Bar, where they had the opportunity to taste a pint of Guinness. Kate was even pictured pulling a pint at Belfast Empire Hall in early 2019.
