Prince William challenged on ‘escaping chores’ in cheeky dig as he’s put to work
He may be the future King – but that didn’t stop Prince William being put to work after a cheeky dig about him “escaping chores”.
The eye-raising moment came during William’s ITV documentary on tackling homelessness where he was followed volunteering at a Christmas party at homeless shelter The Passage in London. In the ITV show, the Prince of Wales is seen donning an apron as he chats to chef Claudette, who is running a team preparing a festive meal. As she and her team are hard at work, William suggests he could leave her and the other kitchen staff to it while he goes and has a ‘natter’ with those awaiting the meal. He tells her: “You’ve got enough hands in her anyway, I might just go out there and have a natter…”
But before he can finish his sentence, Claudette chips in: “Oh you’re trying to escape the work, I’m watching you!” But the pair descend into fits of giggles as William says he will hand out the drinks or the ketchup.
Later, William is seen asking Claudette again how we can help out when the dinner service is underway. And he listens intently as she tells him: “William, what you can do, when the clients have finished eating, you can help collect their plates” and the prince immediately gets to work.

The show, which is also now available to watch on Disney+, is called ‘Prince William: We Can End Homelessness’ – and it explores the first year of his Homewards initiative, which aims to develop a blueprint for eradicating homelessness in all its forms, “making it rare, brief and unrepeated”.
