Royal family: Prince George asked dad William to explain risqué panto joke

The audience were in stitches – and George wanted to know why!

Prince William took his royal family along to the pantomime on Friday night (December 11) and got more than he bargained for when it came to questions about the performance from his eldest.

William and Kate took Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis to the London Palladium to watch the National Lottery’s Pantoland performance.

Sitting in the royal box, the family of five appeared to be loving the show.

However, William revealed afterwards that some of the panto’s more risqué jokes were questioned by George, seven.

One of the show’s stars, Nigel Havers, revealed his backstage chat with the prince to the Daily Mail.

And it all centred around a joke told during the performance by Julian Clary that had the audience in stitches.

He said it may take him a while to explain his way out of that one!

He said: “Prince William had us all chuckling when he said that his eldest, George, had innocently enquired why everyone was laughing at one of Julian Clary’s more risqué jokes.

“He said it may take him a while to explain his way out of that one!”
