It's Tickety-Boo At Royal Bingo

IT was “six-and-two, tickety-boo” as Prince William and Kate turned virtual bingo hosts to surprise a care home.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge had residents and staff in stitches as they joined the game at Shire Hall Care Home, in Cardiff, via a video call from their Norfolk home, Anmer Hall.

With their own bingo spinner which the Duchess took charge of, William and Kate giggled while taking turns choosing the balls.

Joining residents Margaret Stocks, Margaret Jones, Ray Donoghue and Joan Drew-Smith calling out the “bingo lingo”, William said: “Catherine is going to pick out the first ball,” as Kate announced: “So, the first number is five and eight, 58.”

There was even more laughter as William announced: “One little duck, number two,” followed by Kate calling out the next two balls: “Eight and seven, 87. Six and two, tickety-boo.”
