Prince William Steals Spotlight From Princess Kate as Surprise Title Sparks Buzz Across Windsor
Princess Kate has long been known as the royal whose presence brings positive attention and commercial success wherever she goes. However it now appears she has some friendly competition from her own husband Prince William.
The Prince of Wales has quietly proven that his influence extends beyond royal duties and public appearances. A recent visit to a local Windsor pub has unexpectedly boosted business and earned William a special new reputation among locals.
Earlier this year Prince William visited the pub to record part of his interview with actor Eugene Levy. The filming took place in April but its impact was not fully felt until the footage aired months later.
Since the interview was released in early October the pub has seen a noticeable increase in visitors. Tourists and royal fans alike have been eager to visit the spot where the future King once sat.
The owner of the pub Stuart O Brien spoke openly about the unexpected surge in interest. In conversation with Hello Magazine he admitted that business has improved since Prince William appeared on screen.
“Just a little bit. Just a smidge. But yes. A lot of people come in a lot of tourists come in because they have seen the show,” Stuart shared. His words reflected both surprise and gratitude.
He went on to explain that the exposure did not stop there. The pub has also been mentioned on the popular British television show Gogglebox which has further increased foot traffic.
“We are also mentioned on a British show called Gogglebox which is huge in England. So lots of people then come because of that as well,” he said. According to Stuart the combination has been excellent for business.

“It has been really good for business. Really good for business,” he added. The repeated praise highlighted just how much of a difference the royal appearance made.
Beyond the financial boost Stuart also had kind words for Prince William himself. He described the Prince of Wales as approachable and genuine despite his global status.
Stuart praised William for being down to earth and relatable. He explained that interacting with the royal did not feel intimidating or staged.
“They are human beings at the end of the day. Just because they have a title they are human and they have lives as well,” he said. His comments resonated with many who admire the modern royal approach.
He continued by emphasizing the family values that William and Princess Kate represent. According to Stuart the couple come across as normal family people which makes them even more appealing to the public.
Royal watchers have noted that this moment mirrors what has long been known as the Kate effect. Princess Kate has famously boosted fashion brands charities and local businesses simply by showing her support.
Now it seems Prince William is developing an effect of his own. His casual pub visit has shown that the future King can generate goodwill and economic benefit just as easily.
As Prince William and Princess Kate continue to shape the future of the monarchy moments like this highlight their shared appeal. Together they represent a royal couple whose influence reaches far beyond palace walls.
