This year has had a lot of unprecedented events. Those events may have led some to look for a laugh or indulge in their favourite comfort food. So why not combine the two?
On Tuesday, the Duke of Cambridge accompanied his wife at an appearance in London to meet with some of the finalists of the Duchess of Cambridge’s Hold Still photo project. Hold Still is a community project to make a unique collective portrait of the UK during the lockdown.
On their way to the event, the Duke was seen peering into the window of a KFC restaurant. The popular chain decided to have a little fun with the Duke’s curiosity tweeting a photo along with the caption:
“William whispered quietly to himself;
Oh, I just can’t wait to be wing!”
A play on words of the famous song “I Just Can’t Wait to be King” from the 1990s Disney film, The Lion King.
The chicken chain then followed up with another tweet: “I’m sad I didn’t call him His Royal Thighness in the main tweet tbh.”
The Duke’s love of chicken has never been a secret. In past comments, the Duke said a roast chicken is his favourite thing to cook. He is also a fan of Nando’s, a South African restaurant chain that specialises in peri-peri style chicken.
