LONDON (Reuters) – Prince William and his wife Kate took a trip by Tube to a London pub on Thursday and told locals that preparations are still being nailed down for his father King Charles III’s coronation, the most significant royal event in a generation. <\/p>\n

King Charles will be crowned at Westminster Abbey on Saturday in a grand ceremony dating back some 1,000 years.<\/p>\n

William and Kate, the Prince and Princess of Wales, were greeted by crowds outside the Dog and Duck pub in Soho, the heart of London’s night-time economy, before heading inside to meet regulars, publicans and business owners. <\/p>\n

“I hope all goes well, fingers crossed,” said William, who pulled a pint of “Kingmaker” beer himself inside the 19th Century hostelry.<\/p>\n

Asked about the upcoming celebrations, Kate, who sipped a pint of beer as she chatted to the guests, said: \u201cIt\u2019s going to be a busy time. We\u2019re getting there. I still feel like we\u2019re trying to get ducks in a row.”<\/p>\n

On Saturday, William, the heir, and Kate will follow King Charles’ golden coach in a carriage procession through central London.<\/p>\n

For their trip to the pub, the royals took a less glamorous mode of transport, riding on the Elizabeth underground train line named in honour of his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth.<\/p>\n
