Mike's show of support for Princess Kate came a day after the royal was heckled as she visited Northern Ireland with her husband, Prince William.
The royal couple met members of the public during a walkabout and as a lady shook hands with the mum-of-three, she said: "Nice to meet you but it would be better if it was when you were in your own country."
The woman, who was recording on a mobile phone at the time, added: "Ireland belongs to the Irish."
