The royal family's favourite boozers revealed – as Prince William pulls pints and reveals his love for pubs

If you're heading off to the pub to enjoy a couple of pints with mates, a member of the royal family is perhaps the last person you'd expect to see. 

But the royals have an unexpected love for pubs – and Prince William's even been spotted in a Wetherspoons on occasion. 

This week, the Prince of Wales called to save Britain's pubs during a visit to Peckham, admitting: "I love pubs", before pulling pints. 

He's not the only one – and you can read all about the boozers most loved by the royals, including King Charles, the late Queen Elizabeth II, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, below. 

However, the Princess of Wales has revealed she's reduced her alcohol consumption since her cancer diagnosis, so it's likely she'd opt for a soft drink instead.

William said, "I could stay here forever", after meeting regulars and newcomers at the popular bar in south London that is working to bring the community together over a cup of tea with its "Chatty Patty" programme.

As he spoke to residents getting to know each other as they sipped tea, he told one group: "I love pubs. I want to do as much as I can to support them because I love the community. We need to protect our pubs."

William got behind the Prince of Peckham bar and pulled a pint of Jamaican lager Red Stripe, commenting "not bad" after he finished pouring.

Located in Stanford Dingley, near the Middleton family home in Berkshire, the Old Boot Inn is sure to be near the top of Princess Kate's list.  Former chef Rody Warot told PEOPLE Magazine that Kate is a huge fan of the food.

"Her favourite [dishes] are the pate on toasted brioche or the roast figs on parma ham with spicy apple chutney, followed by the tiger prawn and wild mushroom linguine," he explained. 

Adding: "And for the [dessert], her favourite is sticky toffee pudding. It’s moist and spongy." 

The pub's landlord, John Haley, also explained William and Kate enjoy popping in for a glass of wine.

"They'd just come in, sit down and have a chat. I think they like it here because it’s just somewhere they can go and relax and get away from it all. 

"There’s no big deal about it. There’s no entourage at all."

Situated amongst the Yorkshire Dales National Park is The Blue Lion, East Witton, Yorkshire and it  is reported to be a favourite of King Charles, who, according to multiple news outlets, enjoyed his meal there so much he returned the following day. 

The pub isn't just used to welcoming royalty as Daniel Craig, Jamie Oliver, Kate Winslet and Lulu have all paid a visit to the cosy venue, according to Yorkshire Live.

According to Tatler, the late Queen Elizabeth II left pub regulars in disbelief when she and a few of her relatives headed into Scotland’s oldest pub for a meal after the Musselburgh races. 

According to the publication, "the small royal party apparently took a window seat and ordered two portions of lamb rump, one sea bass fillet, a martini and half a bottle of white wine."
