Kate in fits of giggles at Bradley Walsh tells awkward Royal Variety joke
Kate Middleton was left in fits of giggles at host Bradley Walsh's awkward jokes at the Royal Variety Performance.
The comic opened the annual event with a nod to the Princess of Wales and her husband Prince William. He left everyone laughing when he went on to have a cheeky poke that he's been shunned for a series of prestigious orders and medals and the exchange left the royal pair very amused.
Addressing William, Bradley said: "I've worked for your great nan, your nan, your granddad, your dad, and now I'm working for you, Sir and Madam. And I must say - ask me if I've got an MBE. Nah, ain't got one. Ask me if I've got an OBE - nah, ain't got one of them. Ask me if I've got a CBE? No!" He later barked: "If I don't get a knighthood after this there's no justice."
Kate Middleton and Prince William loved the hosts' performance (ITV)As the laughter whirled around the Royal Albert Hall, he had a dig at the selection process. "They've probably run out because they give them all to people who row boats or people on telly who bake cake." Not done there, the host remind them he had entertained troops in the Falklands and was "happy to make it out alive" while pointing out others got commended for their "Victoria sponge cakes."
Bradley had greeted them both as 'royal highnesses' - but struggled to get his words out. 'It doesn't sound right, your royal highnessesses? There's too many "ssessess", innit? Your royal highness... your royal highnessesses?" he asked. "It should be like cactus, cactussess, cacti. Your royal highness, highnessess and highni. That's it. I've got it. Your royal highni."
