William is in Scotland with his wife, the Princess of Wales, and travelled to Bute to celebrate the island's community spirit and volunteering ethos after a war of words broke out over a controversial Diana, Princess of Wales memoir.
William flips the script on being cheeky
While William was the one on the receiving end of the cheeky comment, he himself has a penchant for a playful comment.

During a visit to the Grange Pavilion, the future King got a big laugh as he joked, 'Who's pinching my bottom?' to a group of elderly men and women.
Royal dispute
William and Kate's recent outing comes amid a public royal dispute between the King and Earl Spencer, William's uncle.
In a segment of his new book about his late sister, Princess Diana, Earl Spencer had said "rest assured, we'll forget her soon enough" days after her death.

Buckingham Palace hit back in a forthright response, with a spokesperson saying, "While we do not comment on books as a matter of principle, His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and colour memory in ways others do not recognise, even many years after such a loss."
