Prince William joined forces with famed English actor and comedian Stephen Fry for a funny video skit on Thursday, in honour of BBC Ones charity special The Big Night In .

During the show, which was put on to thank essential workers and raise money to fight the coronavirus pandemic, the Duke of Cambridge joined a video call with Fry. The actor revived his old character Lord Melchett from the 80s sitcom Blackadder for the special.

Together, the two joked about the difficulties of Zoom calls, nightmare home schooling and even current TV shows.

By the way, have you seen anything good on TV? Its hell without EastEnders, William said, referring to the iconic BBC soap opera, which has cut back its broadcast schedule during the pandemic.

Isnt it? They tell me Tiger King is rather good, Fry said, referencing the Netflix documentary that took the world by storm.

Yes, uh I tend to avoid shows about royalty, William said with a straight face and a nod. Its true the duke has said before that he doesnt watch The Crown.
