William noted that Windsor held a special place in his grandmother’s heart because of the estate’s vast grounds, which allowed her to indulge in one of her greatest passions—horses.

“She had her horses here as well. It was a big deal for her. That’s why she loved it here,” he added.

A Royal Surprise for Eugene Levy

Levy, who travels the world exploring destinations on his bucket list for the series, was particularly interested in the traditions of the royal family as a Canadian and Commonwealth citizen. What he didn’t expect was a royal guide.

The surprise came in the form of a hand-delivered note from William at The Goring Hotel in London, the same hotel where Kate Middleton stayed before her 2011 wedding. The message read: “Why don’t you pop down to the Castle.”

When Levy arrived at Windsor, William greeted him by pulling up on a scooter and joked: “We provide this service for everyone. We do personalised tours everywhere!”

William’s Appearance on The Reluctant Traveler

William and his family have lived on the Windsor estate since August 2022, and they are expected to move into Forest Lodge, described as their “forever home,” later this year.

The prince’s guest appearance will air on the fourth episode of The Reluctant Traveler with Eugene Levy, streaming Friday, October 3, on Apple TV+.

In another preview clip, William reflects on more recent challenges, including his wife Kate’s and father King Charles’ cancer diagnoses. Speaking in a Windsor pub, he admitted: “I’d say 2024 was the hardest year I’ve ever had. Life is sent to test us.”
