Prince Williamanswered royal watchers' burning questions — and had a bit of fun — in his first Instagram Q&A.
The royal took questions from fans via his shared Instagram page withKate Middletonahead of the firstEarthshot Prize Awardsceremony this weekend, ranging from his inspiration for the environmental endeavor to the existence of unicorns.
Prince William, 39, chuckled as he saw the question “Are unicorns real?” and immediately thought of his 6-year-old daughterPrincess Charlotte, who has been spotted withunicorn accessoriesonmultiple occasions.
“Well, I think if you talk my daughter, she’d say they were real,” William said into the camera, then quipped, “Obviously, it’s a trade secret, so I can’t possibly comment.”
Princess Charlotteisn’t the onlyfanof the mythical (or are they?) creatures — they’re also the national animal of Scotland, wherePrince Williamis known as the Earl of Strathearn.
Prince Williamhad a few family photos on display in the background of his videos, including a2010 engagement portraitwith Kate (which they recreated for anew portraitreleased to celebrate 10th wedding anniversary in April).
A photo from Princess Charlotte’s first day of school at Thomas’s Battersea was also visible. In theofficial portraitfrom September 2019, Charlotte and big brotherPrince Georgepose on the steps of the family’s Kensington Palace home in their school uniforms.
Queen Elizabeth’s grandson also hinted at some nerves going into Sunday’s event. When asked what his perfect Sunday looks like, he replied that it’s having this weekend’s event — but added that he was “slightly nervous but also very excited about it.”
