Prince William and Kate Middleton were spotted in Whitechapel this week, visiting a famous Brick Lane bakery.
The royal couple visited Beigel Bake, a famous 24 hour bakery known for its traditional Jewish-style filled bagels, to find out how COVID-19 had impacted their business.
Beigel Bake revealed how they'd had to cut opening hours and put most of its staff on furlough, but they were still working hard to support the local community.
The bakery, who has been open since 1974, revealed they were part of a food donation programme called Feast, making deliveries to those in need.
A clip of the Duke and Duchess was shared to Twitter, showing them getting involved in kneading dough and competing against each other.
After sanitising their hands and wearing aprons, the Duke and Duchess got stuck in to see how the bagels were traditionally made.
