LONDON 鈥� Britain鈥檚 Prince William helped out an Indian restaurant during a royal visit on Thursday by taking a phone reservation from an unsuspecting customer.
The heir to the British throne and his wife Kate were visiting the family-run restaurant Indian Streatery during their trip to Birmingham in central England, when he took the call from someone seeking a booking for two people.
After checking with the owners as to the restaurant鈥檚 location, he then had a discussion with the caller about when a table was free and whether they would have time to eat before catching their train.
鈥淲hat name is it under?鈥� the prince said as he concluded the conversation, without revealing his own name to the caller. 鈥淪ee you at quarter past two.鈥�
William鈥檚 office later said on Twitter: 鈥淗ope we told this customer to come to the right place鈥�!鈥�
As well as taking the booking, the royals also helped out preparing dishes in the restaurant鈥檚 kitchen before continuing their visit in the city with a game of darts at an underground bar.
