Prince William and Kate Middleton just proved that they, like many of their fellow Britons, love a good pint. Or at least they like pouring them.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge served up two cold pints when they visited Belfast on a tour of Northern Ireland in celebration of young people making a difference in their communities.

Kensington Palace tweeted a video of the pair, where Middleton is pouring up a cold pint of Harp (an Irish lager).

Pics from the pouring ceremony show the couple looking slightly anxious about their pouring technique, presumably worried about the amount of foam on their pint.
