Prince William made a surprise appearance on The Graham Norton Show during an episode that aired on 23 October, becoming the first royal to do so. During the programme's 'Red Chair' segment, Tasha, an elderly carer based in Ely, was tipped backwards from her chair after the future king pulled a lever.

In this part of the show, members of the public share stories with the host and guests. If the story is not considered entertaining enough, the host or guests can pull the lever to send the storyteller toppling backwards off the chair. Prince William chose to flip Tasha's chair after hearing her story about a trip to New York.

When Graham Norton asked Tasha where she was from, he said: 'Oh lovely, very nice part of the world.' The full episode can be watched on BBC iPlayer.
