The Prince of Wales made a surprise appearance on an episode of The Graham Norton Show last week, becoming the first royal to appear on the BBC programme. During his time on the famous sofa, William spoke about his Earthshot Prize, his environmental project that provides funding to individuals or groups with innovative ideas or solutions to tackle climate change. This year's awards are being held in India.
Conversation Highlights and Personal Revelations
On the show, William discussed the environmental award with Cate Blanchett, Robert Irwin and Hannah Waddingham, all of whom have been involved in the project. Much of the conversation centred on Earthshot, but the prince also shared other insights into his life, including that he once wanted to be a policeman when he was younger.
The future king also said he liked the idea of being a DJ, but admitted he wasn't very good at it. When asked how he relaxes, William revealed he loves watching films.
Film Preferences and Fan Reaction
He said: "It is music and film. I love getting immersed in deep-thinking films."
"I like action films too, but I like something a bit different. I'm a big fan of everything Christopher Nolan does."
"His films are fantastic – The Dark Knight series is psychologically dark and deep, and I absolutely love that. He takes concepts that are completely out there and makes them incredibly entertaining."
William's TV appearance and the revelations he made appeared to be popular among royal fans, prompting the question of whether he should make more TV appearances.
Previous TV Appearances
The prince's appearance on The Graham Norton Show is not his first time on television. Last year, William appeared on an episode of Eugene Levy's Apple TV+ travel series, The Reluctant Traveller. On the episode, William showed Eugene around Windsor Castle, and the pair shared a pint at a local pub and went for a walk around the castle grounds.
In their conversations, William shared family matters and how he sees "change" as part of his agenda when he becomes King.
