TikTok’s resident train fan Francis Bourgeois has posted footage of himself encountering Prince William and Kate Middleton on the underground, in a crossover we didn’t know we needed.
Yes, indeed.
The social media phenomenon posted a video of himself rushing through Tottenham Court Road station in London to catch an Elizabeth line train, which is named after William’s late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
He is heard pondering to his 2.9million followers, ‘Have you ever found yourself at Tottenham Court Road station wanting to go eastbound and the train you’re wanting to get is ready to go?
‘Well, me too. Pretty much every time,’ Francis jokes as the video sees him sprinting towards the train.
Francis observes William and Kate – yep, the actual future king and queen – make their way down the carriage just as he settles into his seat.
Kate, who looked stunning in a gorgeous red gown for her journey below, extended her hand to shake Francis’, saying, ‘Very nice to meet you.’
‘Hi,’ the stunned content creator responded as William then took his hand and said, ‘Very nice to meet you.’
Francis stuttered, ‘Erm, very nice to meet you. I hope you enjoy the Elizabeth line.’
‘Yeah, it’s been good, pretty good. Have a good day,’ William answered, with Francis offering a sweet ‘cheerio’ to the married couple as they exited the train.
Fans of Francis’ train material reacted positively to their encounter, with one calling it the ‘best narrative twist I have ever seen.’
A second added: ‘The most endearing awkwardness ever, but I’m here for it… every. single. time.’
While a third penned: ‘can’t believe Will and Kate got to meet royalty!!!’
Others were amused by the fact that the video was shot in Francis’ signature POV technique, despite the fact that he was meeting royalty.
‘Laughed so hard the fact you’ve got a camera in your face while talking to the royals,’ one wrote.
Another said: ‘They deffo laughed about it in the car 😂.’
William and Kate also uploaded footage from their trip on the London Underground, sharing Francis’ video and welcoming other Elizabeth line passengers before travelling to the Dog and Duck bar in Soho.
And what music did they select to accompany their adventure video? Of course, it’s Girls Aloud‘s Sound of the Underground.
