BBC Radio 1’s Greg James got telling off from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge after he mocked their daughter Princess Charlotte on her first day of school.
The royals were tuning in to the radio host’s show when photos emerged of Charlotte shaking hands with her teacher at Thomas’s school
“They were listening on the morning Charlotte went to school,” Greg said.
“I saw the photo during the show and said, ‘Who the hell shakes hands with their teacher on the first day?’”
A number of weeks later, Greg met the royals, who brought up his comments about Charlotte’s first day.
“They said: ‘We were listening on the morning of little Charlotte’s first day, and we want to talk to you about the handshaking thing…’”
“I went: ‘Oh God, no!’
He revealed: “They’d heard me saying this school was so posh they had to shake hands with their teacher every day.”
“They were not like that in my day.”
The royals have not publicly commented on the exchange.
