“In coming to the Guinness Storehouse, we are retracing the footsteps of my grandmother, who was shown how to pour the perfect pint here in 2011.”

According to Time, the report of William’s visit to and joke at the storehouse, came on the same day that his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, was seen wearing gloves during an investiture ceremony.
