Prince William vowed to “keep going” as he and Kate put on a united front following his brother Prince Harry’s bombshell memoir, “Spare.”
The Prince and Princess of Wales paid their first royal visit to the Royal Liverpool University Hospital in Liverpool, England, after the Duke of Sussex revealed previously unseen details of their feud with Meghan Markle.
The heir to the throne and his wife smiled as they met representatives from UK healthcare services before exiting and shaking hands with royal fans who had waited hours to meet the couple.
As Middleton, 41, and William, 40, shook hands with royalists, one elderly woman took the opportunity to encourage the future King.
Sylvia, 81, clutched his hand and said, “Keep going Will, scousers love you,” referring to the affectionate nickname for Liverpudlians.
“I will do,” William replied defiantly, according to The Telegraph.
The following day, at a royal engagement in Birkenhead, England, the Prince of Wales appeared to ignore a reporter who asked if he’d read his brother’s book.
“Your Royal Highness, have you had a chance to read your brother’s book at all?” the journalist yelled, according to an ITV video.

As he walked away with his wife, the eldest son of King Charles and the late Princess Diana showed no emotion.
The royal couple’s visit to Open Door Charity was their second public appearance since the memoir’s January 10 release.
The exiled “Spare” heir left no stone unturned in making private family squabbles and conversations public, revealing personal arguments with William that he claims became physical.
Harry claims the Prince of Wales threw him to the ground in a fight two months before he and Meghan, 41, left the royal family, leaving him battered and bruised.
William reportedly called the former “Suits” actress “difficult,” “rude,” and “abrasive,” prompting Harry to respond that he was simply repeating the negative “press narrative” that the couple has spoken out against in recent years.
The brothers continued to yell before William pushed him to the ground, according to Harry. As a result of the alleged altercation, Harry claims he landed on a dog bowl and injured his back.
Harry also discusses Kate’s strained relationship with Meghan in the book.
The Duke, 38, shared his perspective on the infamous dress-fitting spat between the women of Windsor, claiming Meghan was “sobbing on the floor.”
“Meg inquired as to whether Kate was aware of what was going on right now. She was with her father. Kate stated that she was aware, but the dresses were. And the wedding is just four days away!” In the book, Harry wrote.
The rogue royal then revealed private text messages exchanged between Meghan and Kate during their disagreement over Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid gown.
In the book, Harry recalls a time when Kate reluctantly loaned the “Suits” actress her lip gloss — and was “taken aback” by her request to borrow it.
He claimed Meghan “grimaced” when she squeezed the gloss onto her finger and applied it to her lips.
The father of two also claimed that the Prince and Princess of Wales “howled with laughter” when he told them in 2005 that he was considering wearing a Nazi costume to a party.
