Prince Mix-Up: Man Seeks Song from Royal
28 Oct
Summary
- Man mistook Prince William for singer Prince.
- The mix-up happened during a royal visit to Somerset.
- An apology letter is reportedly being sent to the Prince.
During a recent visit to Somerset, Prince William was approached by a man who mistook him for the iconic musician Prince. The Prince of Wales recounted the amusing encounter on The Graham Norton Show, revealing the man asked when he would sing.
It was clarified that Prince William was not the singer Prince, leading the man to express his desire to hear the song 'Purple Rain.' The Prince admitted he did not know the lyrics, much to the audience's amusement. The man, Sebastian Smith, has Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder.
Sebastian's family has since helped him write an apology letter to Prince William. His mother expressed hope that the Prince would receive it. The visit was also part of promoting the Earthshot Prize, Prince William's environmental initiative, ahead of its awards ceremony in Mumbai.
