Not so Royal! The likes of Kate Middleton and Prince William are pictured stumbled out of nightclubs, bars and hotels looking incredibly bleary-eyed over a decade ago
While they are now known for their demure appearance, Kate and William proved to be like anyone else as they headed home after a night out in the noughties.
Speaking to The Sun about the moment he captured Kate in 2007, who struggled to get comfortable in the back of the taxi with her dishevelled brunette locks getting in the way, Max revealed she had emerged from hotspot Mahiki in London’s Mayfair at 2 or 3am.
‘I think she was telling the taxi driver where to go when I took the photograph and Prince Harry and Prince William got in their royal transport shortly after.’
Sporting a slight smirk, William was seen struggling to keep his eyes open as he held onto the front seat to keep himself upright
Prince Harry, who was famously known to butt heads with the paparazzi, exited Boujis nightclub in Kensington. His composed demeanour may have been a result of exiting through the side door, thus failing to catch the attention of the paps
On Saturday, Prince Harry, 33, married the love of his life, American actress Meghan Markle in a breathtaking ceremony at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle
Harry, who married the love of his life Meghan Markle on Saturday, was famously known to butt heads with the paparazzi and in 2014 lashed out to photographer Chris Uncle – only to be back by Clarence House who said he was simply ‘defending himself.’
However in the snap captured by Max, Harry cut a more calm figure as he exited Boujis nightclub in Kensington – which has now closed. His composed demeanour may have been a result of exiting through the side door, thus failing to catch the attention of the paparazzi.
