Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, 38, and Prince William, 37 are in Galway for the final day of their first official trip to Ireland. The couple have spent time in Dublin, County Meath, County Kildare and Galway and have taken in the country’s history, stunning countryside and culture.

The royals kicked off their milestone tour on Tuesday afternoon when they were greeted by Ireland’s President Michael D Higgins and his wife in Dublin.

That evening Kate and Wills were lucky enough to attend a reception at the home of Guinness.

They were both snapped coyly sipping pints of the famous drink during the event at the Guinness Storehouse bar.

While royal-watchers may have thought the Cambridges were allowed to finish their pints in peace, the photo moment was not quite what it seemed.
