Royal Influencers: Prince William & Kate Middleton Launch YouTube Channel — Watch The Teaser
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are now YouTubers!
Prince William and Kate Middleton announced on Wednesday, May 5, that they have their own YouTube channel. The couple shared a short teaser video to show what's to come.
"By the way, you be careful with what you say now because these guys, they’re filming everything!" William jokingly told his wife in the intro of the 25-second video. "I know," she quipped.
The video showed clips of the couple at various events over the years, which included William flying a helicopter, Kate using a bow and arrow and the pair trying to sheer a goat.
"You don't need to roll your r's," Kate told her husband in an outtake of their 2021 St. Patrick's Day greeting when William spoke in Irish. "Do I not roll those?" William replied.
"Better late than never — we're now on @YouTube 🎥 Link in bio," the two announced on Instagram.
"I can’t believe the future king and queen of the UK are having something like this, bravo! 👏🏻," one user commented on the video.
"This is like when Her Majesty The Queen did her first Christmas Message," another noted, while a third joked: "Will you make minecraft lets play??"
The Cambridges have been revamping their social media presence. Their Instagram handle has been changed from @KensingtonRoyal to @DukeandDuchessofCambridge, but they kept their Twitter as @KensingtonRoyal.
William and Kate reportedly hired Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s former social media manager, David Watkins, in April 2020. They have been taking a more modern and casual approach to social media when they took part in the "Instagram vs Reality" trend to mark Prince Louis' second birthday last year.
Last week, William and Kate celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary after they tied the knot in a fairy-tale wedding in Westminster Abbey in London on April 29, 2011. They have since welcomed children Prince George, 7, Princess Charlotte, 6, and Louis, 3.
The pair also posted a birthday tribute for Meghan and Harry's son, Archie. "Wishing Archie a very happy 2nd birthday today. 🎈🎂," they captioned a family photo to mark the occasion.
