She's the Princess of Wales, one of the most photographed women on the planet—but that didn't stop one cheeky senior from mistaking Kate Middleton for Prince William's assistant during a royal visit.

Without missing a beat, Kate fired back with a laugh, telling William, "Well, I am your assistant." She added, "I have been for a long time!" The royals reportedly cracked up, clearly amused by the candid comment.
The resurfaced moment is getting fresh attention after Kate's surprise appearance at a Buckingham Palace garden party earlier this week—her first in two years and a major public return following her cancer diagnosis.
