Prince William jokes 'it's hell' without EastEnders as he makes shock TV cameo

Prince William may be the second in line to the throne but he proved tonight that despite his senior royal position, he’s certainly got a good sense of humour.

His Royal Highness made a shock appearance on BBC show The Big Night In during a comedy sketch with Stephen Fry.

Showing off his acting skills, William, 37, joked that he’s finding it a “nightmare” trying to home school his three children, George, Charlotte and Louis.

Speaking on a Zoom! call during the sketch, William chatted about trying to teach his children now schools are closed.

“It’s a bit of night mare really,” he admitted before joking his best subject is royal history.

Keen not to take himself too seriously, Wills added: “It’s hell without EastEnders.”

In what could be seen as a dig at Netflix hit The Crown, which is based on the reign of William’s Grandmother Queen Elizabeth II, he admitted he’s not seen Tiger King as he “tends to avoid shows about royalty.”

As the clock raced to 8pm and households up and down the country prepared to clap for the NHS on streets around the country, William joked he needed to put on his socks, shoes… and awkwardly his trousers.

In a final heartwarming twist, the camera then cut to the William’s front door before it opened for him and his whole family to appear to clap for NHS workers.

Another added: “Well, Prince William is really British humour at its best.”

“Seeing Catherine and the children with him at the end made it so special,” a third continued.

Meanwhile, a fourth added: “Prince William is a don!! That is all.”
