Prince William Gets Shouted at by an Over-Excited Fan and His Reaction Is Winning Hearts — Watch

When a die-hard fan spotted Prince William in London, he screamed the royal's name twice — and got a reaction he never saw coming.

While speaking to the future king, one would expect people to observe basic royal etiquette. However, one die-hard fan certainly didn't read the room when he spotted Prince William traveling with his entourage through the busy streets of London. As William passed by, the man loudly shouted his name, not once, but twice, in hopes of catching his attention. Sure enough, the Prince noticed his enthusiastic admirer, casually smiling and waving at him before the car sped away, leaving the internet in stitches.

In a hilarious video posted on TikTok, superfan @freddiemcewan is seen walking through London when he spots police bikes and a convoy of limousines cruising down the street. Knowing that William was seated inside one of the vehicles, he screamed, "It's William!" Still not done with his antics, he shouted once again, "Oi, Wills!" — instantly catching the Prince's attention. The text over the clip cheekily read, "Saw the royals today, made sure to keep it cool." William's chill reaction truly proved why he's the face of a modern monarchy, shunning strict protocols and favoring a freer and more casual approach. Watch the video here!

After royal watchers stumbled upon the funny exchange, they took to the comments to share their two cents on William's cool reaction. A netizen gushed, "The fact he waved too 😭😭." In a similar vein, another beamed, "Oh, I LOVE this 😂 I'd be exactly the same 😂🥰." Meanwhile, a fan quipped, "Well done for getting a wave." As the comments poured in, a person commented, "Being nonchalant wouldn't have gotten you that wave." Another also opined, "The fact that you were clipping your phone mic is telling me he DEFINITELY heard you each time."

Of course, this isn't the first time the Prince of Wales has joked around with the public, showing off his informal side. During a visit to Scotland last May, a video on X captured him and Princess Kate passing by fans who had gathered to catch a glimpse of them. One of the women in the crowd shouted at Kate, "You're beautiful." Realizing her snub, she quickly added, "You too, William!" William, who heard the woman, quipped, "You don't have to say that. Don't worry." As the crowd burst into laughter, the Prince placed his hand on his wife's arm in a sweet gesture.
