Kate and Wills take the bus to Remembrance Day

Royals and public transport haven't always gone hand in hand, but the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge fit right in taking a local bus route.

A classic red double-decker bus picked up Kate and William from their Kensington Palace home, taking them on a five-minute journey to their local tube stop to meet military personel and volunteers selling poppies.

The royals left baby Prince George at home with a nanny, saying that he had been “behaving himself this morning”.

Taking public transport is something of a royal tradition among the family. The Queen is partial to a train trip, and earlier this year Kate admitted she “missed travelling on the tube”.
