Sixth form students left stunned after receiving FaceTime call from Prince William

SIXTH form students had a lunch break like no other when they received a surprise FaceTime call — from Prince William.

The future king made the call during an informal visit to Ipswich Hospital last week.

Hannah Wickison, 18, was sitting with pals in Colchester when one boy got a call from his ambulance worker mum Kerry Gaskin, who was with Wills.

Hannah said: "A friend's mum called him whilst he was visiting her at work and he was on the other end of the line.

"We were all just so shocked and didn't expect it, completely speechless.

"We were just laughing at everything he was saying as we didn't know what to say.

"He asked us if we were friends with Ed Sheeran as one of our friends has red hair.

"Then he said he'd tried her cake and told her she wouldn't win Bake Off.

"It was just really unexpected, the things he was saying - you just don't really think they'll have a joke with you I guess."

"We ended the call and had some lunch left and we all just sat there in silence, completely speechless, processing everything," Hannah added.

"Some people didn't think it was real and they thought it was a filter of him! Yeah, I won't forget that for a long time."
