Prince William jokes about King Charles’ coronation
(Video courtesy: TMX) Prince William greeted people outside the Dog and the Duck pub in Soho, London on May 4 and joked about King Charles’ coronation weekend.
The Prince of Wales is apparently a lightweight when it comes to drinking.
Mike Tindall revealed the nickname he has for Prince William that was inspired after witnessing the way he handles alcohol.
"The Prince of Wales is known to me as 'One Pint Willy' because he's not the best of drinkers. Coming from a sport where it is built on the social aspect and a couple of beers being sunk quite often," Tindall shared on BBC’s "Seven: Rob Burrow" podcast with his wife Zara, who is a first cousin of William.

"That is one I will definitely give away for the Prince of Wales. ‘One Pint Willy.’ It's out there now, sorry sir."
Zara chimed in and told her husband he was going to be in "so much trouble!" for calling out William.
"A lot of those nicknames kind of fly around," Zara laughed.
The Tindalls’ comments came after they discussed pet names during the interview.

"We basically call each other ‘munchkins’ a lot, don’t we? Or ‘my love,'" Mike added.
Zara shared that she calls her husband "munchkin," "Mikey" or "Michael Tindall" when he is "not listening," she joked.
"He is in my phone as something else, and it ends with ‘kitten,’" Zara playfully replied.
