The Princess of Wales has stopped wolf-whistling as she heads to Yorkshire today.
Kate appeared to hear Do-Nott’s distinctive greeting to the crowds who gathered to see her at Leeds Kirkgate Market.
The wolf-whistle appeared to register with the future queen but she politely ignored it and walked past the stall to begin her new year campaign.
The royal did not appear offended, but just weeks after the incident it emerged that wolf-whistling could be made illegal under a new offense of harassing people on the street – with a prison sentence of up to two years.

Home Secretary Suella Braverman announced the move as she insisted criminals who stop women from feeling ‘safe’ must face ‘the consequences they deserve’.
He then spoke to market vendors to mark the launch of his Shaping You project, which aims to highlight the significance of the formative years of a child’s life.
The long-term initiative, launched on Tuesday by the Royal Foundation’s Center for Early Childhood, is said to be Kate’s ‘life’s work’, which she hopes will influence attitudes towards children in their early years.
Later, the princess will join a discussion with market vendors and local people to hear about their childhood experiences.
The Princess chose to visit Leeds today as part of the city’s ongoing ambition to become the UK’s best place for young people and children to grow up.
In 2012, the city launched Child Friendly Leeds with the belief that by investing in and supporting children, young people and their families, the whole city would see immediate and long-term social and economic benefits.
Leeds City Council, working with partners to deliver enrichment programs to improve outcomes, has seen the number of young people in care fall safely, more teenagers going into education, employment and training and better school attendance.
Leeds Kirkgate Market opened in 1857 and is home to hundreds of local independent businesses covering everything from fresh fruit and veg, butchers and fishmongers to a community library, cookery school and volunteer centre.
During last night’s BAFTA screening, the Princess of Wales described the Shaping Us program as her ‘life’s work’.

The project, which launches today, is a long-term project by the princess, starting with how a child develops and the importance of the formative years.
It will ‘explore more deeply the importance of a child’s social and emotional world’ and the significance of relationships, ‘environment and experience’.

Kate explained that she is now launching the Shaping Us campaign, adding: ‘To raise awareness of the life-changing impact we have when we build a supportive, nurturing world around children and those who care for them.
‘By focusing our collective time, energy and resources on these most preventive years, we can make a huge difference to the physical and mental health and happiness of generations to come.
In the clip, the royal rocks her hair in a bouncy blow dry style, pulling some of it behind her shoulders.
Introducing the film at a BAFTA screening last night, the princess said: ‘The campaign is about the importance of childhood and how it shapes us as adults.
‘At this time we lay the foundations and building blocks for life. And this is when we learn to understand ourselves, learn to understand others, and learn to understand the world in which we live.
‘That’s why it’s essential, not only to understand the unique importance of our early years, but to know what we can all do to help raise future generations of happy, healthy adults.’
