Prince William made a surprise debut on‘The Graham Norton Show’Friday, and he brought the royal family’s watchlist with him. Sitting alongside Cate Blanchett, Hannah Waddingham, Robert Irwin and Jorja Smith, William revealed that‘The Celebrity Traitors’is his current favorite show, and that Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are completely obsessed with it.“It’s really good telly,”he said, which is about as casual as a future king gets on national television.
He didn’t stop there. William named Christopher Nolan as a favorite director, praising‘The Dark Knight’series as“psychologically dark and deep”and saying he absolutely loves it. So the royal family has a reality TV habit and a serious taste in cinema, all in one couch appearance.
The visit was really about The Earthshot Prize, the environmental award William founded in 2020 to counter the doom and gloom of climate news with optimism. And the timing matters: William has been taking on more royal duties as King Charles battles cancer, including welcoming the Sultan of Oman to the UK on Tuesday. A looser, more human royal moment couldn’t have come at a better time. So what’s your family’s current TV obsession?
