It's not every day you come face to face with Prince William - aka, the heir to the throne.

So, it's not all that surprising that senior citizen Betty Magee couldn't help but reach out to him in excitement when he visited her care home in Edinburgh, in a sweet new video which is doing the rounds.

Ex Royal Airforce service-woman Betty, 96, was one of a group of residents introduced to the prince at Queen's Bay Lodge Care Home in the Scottish city.

And a funny clip shows the great grandmother attempting to touch his face and asking for a kiss from the royal, despite social distancing guidelines.

Check it out below:

While Prince William was at the nursing home, some of the residents enjoyed some ice cream and had a cup of tea with him.

And as the Prince William sat down at her table in a marquee on the care home grounds, Betty cooed: "It's customary in these parts to give a lady a kiss on the cheek."

"Oh you are sweet. You'll make me blush," Prince William replied, brushing off her advances like the pro that he is.

But Betty couldn't help persisting, asking again for a peck on her cheek as Prince William laughed and covered his face, feigning embarrassment.

"When the rules relax more I will come back and give you a kiss on the cheek Betty," he told her sweetly.

After meeting some more of the residents, he returned to his admirer, who was still hopeful of a kiss on the cheek, and told her: "Betty, I don't know who is flirting more, me or you.

"Talking to you makes me blush. Is there whisky in your tea Betty?"

The prince's trip to Scotland comes after he was recently appointed Lord High Commissioner of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland by his grandmother, The Queen.

While in the city, the Duke of Cambridge also had a go at woodworking at the Grassmarket Community Project - a social enterprise offering practical skills and support to vulnerable people who need it.
