At 44, Prince William is still keeping his fingers crossed, hoping that one day his father will make him king once and for all. Until then he’s staying in the background his brother doesn’t want to be in (or know how to be in), and that’s why it’s so surprising that he’s decided to go on Graham Norton’s show to talk about pop culture, of all things. His pop culture, at least.
Traitors!
What do you think a member of the royal family watches when he gets home, takes off his tie, and finally sits down on the sofa? “I love feeling immersed in serious films. I like action ones too, but I like them a little different. I’m a fan of everything Christopher Nolan does“. Will he have gone incognito to see The Odyssey too?
Specifically, there’s one Nolan film that stands out above the rest: “The Dark Knight saga is psychologically dark and deep, and I adore it. It takes real-world ideas and makes them incredibly entertaining“. But between one Nolan film and another, in the Royal Household there’s time for other kinds of things.
And the thing is, his two children, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, are hooked on The Traitors, the reality show that has become a global hit: “I adore it, the family adores it. Charlotte and Louis are obsessed, it’s very good television. I saw Ross Kemp, a Celebrity Traitors contestant the day after the first episode and I couldn’t help talking to him to see his reaction. Turns out he’s one of the jumpy ones!”. That answers the question: at Buckingham, between tea and pastries and welcoming international guests, they enjoy a good reality show.
