The tube strike isn’t a laughing matter to London commuters attempting to get home tonight but a jovial Prince William managed to make light of the industrial action whilst at Wimbledon today as he pretended to make a dash for the underground station when an announcement came over the loud speaker on Centre Court
To the delight of his wife Kate and Sophie the Countess of Wessex the royal took the opportunity to give the Royal Box a giggle, jumping up from his seat with a smile
Earlier the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge had seemed still very much in love as they cheered on Andy Murray to his win against Vasek Pospisil on Centre Court today.
The couple, who were seated just in front of adventurer Bear Grylls and close to both Sophie Wessex and Prince Albert of Monaco, looked longingly into each other's eyes and shared some private jokes in between sets.
Kate, who has long been a tennis fan, was elegant in a scarlet dress by L.K Bennett and looked relaxed and happy as she chatted to her 33-year-old husband.
The duo, who also wore matching Ray Ban sunglasses, were given a round of applause as they took their seats and happily waved to the crowd of cheering tennis fans.
The look of love: The happy couple, who recently became parents for the second time, looked very much in love as they arrived on Centre Court today to see Andy Murray take on Vasek Pospisil
Joking around: New parents Kate and William proved they're still very much in love as they exchanged jokes in the royal box

Look royal in red in Kate's L.K. Bennett dress
It's been a busy few days for the Duchess of Cambridge and her family.
It was her daughter's christening on Sunday and the rest of the Middletons have all managed to squeeze in a visit to Wimbledon. But now it's Kate's turn!
Of course, she looked as chic as ever for her day on Centre Court, shunning traditional tennis whites for a red dress. When teamed with an animal print Diane Von Furstenberg clutch bag and nude court heels, it's classic Kate with a twist.
The dress is from one her favorite brands, L.K. Bennett and we love the fit and flare shape. The midi skirt and elbow-length sleeves make it an elegant choice, and the bold hue will ensure she stands out from the crowd of spectators. Of course she'll be cheering on Andy Murray but the color is a nod to his Canadian opponent Vasek Pospisil too. Talk about dressing for the occasion!
And the best news is it's still in stock (for now...), so follow the link on the right to snap it up ASAP.
Or check out the Duchess-inspired dresses in the edit below.
Later, when the match got underway, an animated Kate produced a series of Kim Murray style grimaces and was clearly feeling the tension as she watched the British No. 1 in action.
William and Kate's appearance on court comes a week after a memorable visit from the Duchess of Cornwall, who was left smiling after being presented with Murray's sweaty wristband.
She was joined on the day by her sister Annabel Elliot and Kate's mother Carole Middleton, with the three ladies seen enjoying a friendly chat between matches.

Like the rest of the Middleton family, William and Kate have become frequent visitors to Wimbledon in recent years and were both on court to see Novak Djokovic beat Roger Federer in last year's men's singles final - an event also attended by a host of big name celebrities.
Among the stars on show on that occasion were Victoria and David Beckham, Chris Hemsworth and his Spanish wife Elsa Pataky and British actress Kate Beckinsale.
Today, the Duchess' main competition in the style stakes came in the shape of Kim Murray, Andy's glamorous 27-year-old wife, who looked stunning as she arrived to watch the action, and an elegant Sophie Wessex.
Also on court to see Murray slug it out in his quarter final was the equally stylish Zara Tindall, who arrived looking svelte in a fitted black top and beige skinny jeans on the arm of her husband Mike.
David Beckham, an old friend of Prince William's, was also spotted on Centre Court seated beside his 12-year-old son Romeo.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's visit to Wimbledon came a day after Prince William joined families and survivors of the 7/7 London bombing attacks at a poignant memorial service in Hyde Park.
He was seen hugging one of the youngest survivors, Emma Craig, 25, who had made a speech recounting her experiences after being caught up in the blast at Aldgate on the Circle Line.

Miss Craig, who was not injured in the blast, added: 'Quite often, people will say "it didn't break us, terrorism won't break us". 'The fact is it may not have broken London, but it did break some of us.
'Sometimes I feel that people are so hell bent on saying terrorism not breaking us that they forget about all the people who got caught up in it.'
Two days earlier, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge had made an appearance as a family of four for the first time, when they arrived with both of their young children for the christening of Princess Charlotte.
William arrived clutching the hand of a playful Prince George, while the Duchess arrived pushing a pram containing her two-month-old daughter having walked to the church from Sandringham House in a pair of six-inch heels.
