William stuns customers as he 'enjoys a great night' having dinner at an LGBT ... trends now
Prince William stunned Polish diners last night by arriving at an LGBTQ+ restaurant for a meal while making a surprise visit to the country.
Pictures from the Butero Bistro in Warsaw showed the Prince of Wales sitting around a table with a group of Kensington Palace staff, while placing an order with a waiter.
The images were shared by a local, who along with the photograph wrote: 'Warsaw can surprise. I ate dinner today with the Prince.' They were quickly picked up by local media, who shared their surprise at the royal appearance.
In a statement to MailOnline, a royal source explained that William had asked to join Kensington Palace staff for dinner at a local restaurant they had booked nearby.
'The team from Kensington Palace booked a local restaurant near where they were working and the prince decided to join them,' the source said. 'He asked them what they were doing and then asked to come along. It was a great night by all accounts.'
'The team really appreciated him asking to join them,' the source added.

The local who shared the images joked that he was 'wondering what to order. But the service here is great and helped.
'It is valuable that he supported the community so abused by the current authorities in Poland,' they added, referring to the Polish government's crackdown on LGBTQ+ rights, which has been criticised by rights groups and the EU.

The central Warsaw venue organises karaoke nights for drag queens and has gathered a cult following for its opposition to the government's conservative views.
Opened in November last year and promoting itself as a LGBTQ+-friendly place with a neon rainbow coloured sign, owner Paweł Zasim said that the restaurant 'is an inclusive space where everyone can feel good.'
He said: 'You look into a specific courtyard, to a place under a specific neon sign. You know what you're signing up for and either you're in it or you're not.'
Offering butter-based dishes, the simplest item on the menu is 'fresh bread with lard in three flavours' for the equivalent of £3.50.
William, who is first in line to the British throne, paid a visit to Rzeszow yesterday - just miles from the Ukrainian border - before travelling to Warsaw. His visit has been shrouded in secrecy, and he travelled under massive security to the country.
Speaking today, he echoed his late grandmother the Queen by laying a wreath at a monument dedicated to soldiers in Poland.
