Television personality Christopher Biggins recently shared his impressions of meeting Prince William for the first time, offering a glimpse into the personality of the future King. Initially harboring some “reservations” about Prince William, Biggins confessed he couldn’t quite pinpoint the reason for his apprehension. However, his encounter with the Prince at the Royal Variety Show, held at the Royal Albert Hall on November 19, where the Prince and Princess of Wales were present, shifted his perception entirely.
Speaking to GB News, Biggins described his meeting with Prince William as touching, remarking, “He was really quite touched. He was charming.” During their conversation, Biggins recalled a fond memory involving William’s late mother, Princess Diana, which he shared with the Prince.
Biggins recounted telling Prince William, “I must tell you that this theatre, the Royal Albert Hall, is where years ago I took your mother to see Liza Minnelli, and your mother was just the most wonderful, incredible woman.” He noted that Prince William appeared genuinely moved by this reminiscence.
In stark contrast, Biggins expressed a decidedly less favorable opinion of former Prince Andrew, who has faced significant backlash due to his connections with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Biggins criticized Andrew’s actions, stating that he had “behaved ridiculously” and expressed no sympathy for him. He added, “I don’t feel sorry for Andrew. I think if he’d been honest and said, ‘Yes, I had sex with that girl,’ then none of this would have happened.”
He added that he thinks that the royal family will be dealing with the repercussions of the allegations made against Andrew for years, saying: The Royal Family will never be the same again.”
Biggins also revealed what Princess Kate is really like, after she brought their three children George, Louis and Charlotte to a pantomime performance.
He told The Telegraph: “She was just walking away when she came back and said, ‘Actually, when I was a young girl I played Principal Boy.’”
When he asked which role she had taken, Kate revealed it was Dick Whittington, to which Biggins quipped: “Ah yes, I’ve heard of your Dick!”
Kate cheekily replied: “If you tell anyone that story…” showing her good sense of humour.
