The royal couple visited St Andrew's on Wednesday – the place where they met and fell in love. And after a busy day of engagements, they decided to return to another old haunt for their second 'date' of the tour.

The couple's tour included a visit to St Andrew's

"There was a crowd outside once they left but as far as inside goes it was quiet," manager Marc said of their visit.

"There was no pomp and ceremony or fanfare, they were very nice and when they left they were very complimentary."

The manager, who was off duty when the couple arrived, was called by staff at home: "Word certainly reached me we had guests come in!" he shared.

The royals have enjoyed a week-long visit to Scotland

Forgan's wasn't built when William and Kate were attending St. Andrews University from 2001 to 2005. It is based in a converted butcher's warehouse.

Marc further said he believed the Duchess was recommended it by one of her university pals. It is said to be popular with one of the societies that Kate was a member of, he added.
