On Thursday evening, Prince William took part in the Clap for Carers initiative in conjunction with the BBC’s fundraising show, “Big Night In.” In the clip, the royal revealed the hilarious reason he didn’t watch Netflix’s “Tiger King.”

For the weekly, Clap for Carers initiative, Prince William had a Zoom call with Stephen Fry. In the video, Fry reprised his role as Lord Melchett from the “Black Adder.”

During the hilarious interacting between William and Fry, the Duke of Cambridge confessed why he wasn’t watching the docuseries. More than 64 million households watch the show, according to reports.

WHY WILLIAM DOESN’T WATCH “TIGER KING”

At one point during their interaction, William asked Fry: "By the way have you seen anything good on TV? It's hell without ‘EastEnders.’" The comedian suggested the docuseries but the prince wasn’t pleased.
