However, it was William’s stop off in the Edinburgh pub that caused most controversy.
He enjoyed a pint and watched the big football match with key workers.
However, regular punters were reportedly livid.
How did punters at the pub react?
The pub maintains that it had to close for “national security” reasons.
An email apologising to customers said that the pub shut for “circumstances outside of their control”.
However, speaking to the Mirror, one dismayed punter said: “We were lied to, I was just so disappointed.
“They could have used another excuse rather than ‘essential maintenance,’ they didn’t even have to say the prince was coming.
“It’s just pretty shocking. I won’t be booking again.”
