The following is a direct quote from the Duke of Cambridge to his duchess, as heard yesterday:

“Catherine, I think you can stop flirting with them now!”

It was uttered by the duke at precisely the moment the above photograph was taken, and no, the them was not the gentleman sans trousers, which frankly, Kate, is a missed opportunity, because those heels make his legs go for dayssss. 

The “them” is actually the potential donors the duchess was squeezing money out of over the phone yesterday. The no pants / royal flirting were all in aid of a fundraiser at the London stock exchange, which thanks to Will, Kate and other celeb volunteers, raised millions of pounds for charity.
