Prince William told The Graham Norton Show he had childhood ambitions to become a policeman or DJ.

Prince William appeared on The Graham Norton Show on Friday, 23 October, alongside Cate Blanchett, Robert Irwin and Hannah Waddingham. During the BBC chat show, he spoke about alternative career paths he had imagined as a child.

Asked whether he had ever imagined a different career if he had not been born into the Royal Family, Prince William revealed two surprising childhood ambitions. He said: 'I did want to be a policeman when I was younger, I did think I would be a good policeman. And then I went through a phase where I wanted to be a DJ, which didn't go very well, and I came up with a name, I was called DJ Xara with an X, it wasn't good.'

During the appearance, Prince William also spoke about being mistaken for pop singer Prince and recalled an amusing encounter during a visit to Somerset.
