The teamwork between William and Kate was on full display during the couple’s visit to south Wales. One of their first stops was to a local ice cream shop. As they walked inside, William declared that he was a “chocolate man,” but went for a vanilla cone with chocolate sprinkles (and also tried a small cup of chocolate). Kate ate her ice cream in a cup.
