Prince William delighted fans with a rare personal insight into family life — revealing that his three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, have become avid fans of a classic 1970s British sitcom.
The Prince of Wales attended The Tusk Conservation Awards in London on Wednesday evening, where he mingled with notable guests including comedy legend John Cleese and Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood. During his chat with Cleese, William disclosed that his children have recently discovered Fawlty Towers, the beloved sitcom starring Cleese himself, and they “literally love it.”
He smiled as he shared:
“My children have just discovered Fawlty Towers, they literally love it. We’ve been having a lot of family laughs.”
He added that he has been “reminiscing, reliving the show all over again” while watching it with his children — calling it “brilliant.”
Fawlty Towers, which originally aired between 1975 and 1979, is set in a chaotic seaside hotel in Torquay, Devon. The show follows the frustrated hotel owner Basil Fawlty (played by Cleese), his bossy wife Sybil, the calm and sensible maid Polly, and Manuel, the loveable but accident-prone waiter from Spain. Known for its slapstick comedy and witty writing, the series is still widely regarded as one of the greatest British comedies of all time.
