Prince William accused of “flirting” in Edinburgh with 96-year-old

Prince William continued his royal tour of Scotland on Sunday, by visiting the Queens Bay Lodge Care home in Edinburgh.

The royal couldn't shake a flirty encounter though, with some of their residents including 96-year-old Betty Magee.

"It's customary in these parts to give a lady a kiss on the cheek," she informed Prince William, 38, as he sat across from her at a table.

"Oh, you are sweet. You'll make me blush," William replied.

“When the rules relax more, I will come back and give you a kiss on the cheek, Betty."


As their conversation went on, Prince William was jokingly told by a staffer, "Could you stop flirting with my residents?"

"Sorry," William said with a laugh.

"I'm trying not to — I'm not sure who's flirting more."

Prince William began the mini-tour solo on Friday by going to Edinburgh in his role as Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.

He was given the role by his grandmother Queen Elizabeth.



William got to reunite with his wife of 10 years on Monday when the Duchess of Cambridge, 39, joined him in Scotland.

The couple excited the public with one of their outings where they rejoined together, at St. Andrew's University.

William and Kate’s special visit to St. Andrews University is said to be a "trip down memory lane," Kensington Palace said.
