Prince William couldn’t contain his amusement as he attended a state banquet hosted by his father, King Charles, in honor of the Emperor and Empress of Japan’s visit to the UK.

The monarch, in his usual eloquent manner, emphasized the strong ties in economics, diplomacy, and culture between the two nations during the first day of their three-day state visit.

While delivering his speech, King Charles veered off into a more light-hearted topic, mentioning his unsuccessful fishing endeavors and making a playful reference to his grandchildren’s interest in Pokemon.

He humorously remarked that the catchphrase “gotta catch ’em all” from the popular Japanese cartoon might be more fitting for Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis than for himself.

The mention of Hello Kitty and Pokemon by King Charles caught Prince William’s attention, leading to a visible reaction from the Duke of Cambridge.

William’s initial smirk and lowered gaze soon turned into a broad grin as he made eye contact with his father, clearly amused by the unexpected turn in the conversation.
