Prince William makes royal history on Graham Norton | 7NEWS

What did Prince William want to be before his royal future was settled? A policeman, then a DJ, he tells Graham Norton. The musical ambition, by his own account, did not go very well.

That admission is part of 7NEWS Australia's short report on William's appearance on The Graham Norton Show, alongside Cate Blanchett, Hannah Waddingham and Robert Irwin. The report drew roughly 350,000 views in eighteen hours, far beyond the channel's usual start for a Short.

Norton supplies another conversation starter by putting Irwin's underwear photoshoot on screen. "I can't believe I am looking at this with Prince William," Irwin says. William joins in the joking rather than leaving the Australian wildlife presenter to navigate the moment alone.

Behind the couch conversation is the Earthshot Prize, William's initiative recognizing solutions to environmental problems. Irwin describes its tangible impact around the world, prompting William to tease him about how neatly he is demonstrating his credentials as an ambassador.

The report also catches William taking a turn at one of Norton's signature rituals: pulling the lever on the big red chair during the audience storytelling segment. Between the abandoned DJ ambitions and the chair controls, the royal guest gets more than a formal introduction.
