Game of throws: Kivel sörözött és dartsozott Vilmos herceg múlt héten?

As the heir to the throne, Prince William hit the bullseye in life – but it turns out he has less luck on the dartboard.

A video released last night by Kensington Palace shows the Prince taking his best shot in a game against actress Hannah Waddingham – only to miss the board entirely.

‘Cut!’ the Prince joked, while Waddingham said to the cameras: ‘Can we get a close-up on this?’

The nine-minute sketch was filmed last week at the legendary Alexandra Palace in North London, where the World Darts Championship begins today, to promote Prince William’s new environmental documentary, The Earthshot Report, which was shown on BBC1.

‘Welcome to my palace,’ said Waddingham as the Prince arrived at the venue, which hosted his first Earthshot Prize awards ceremony in 2021. ‘What a wonderful palace it is,’ he responded.

Dressed in plastic-free trainers by the British brand HEVEA and a casual blue jumper, the Prince, 42, appeared relaxed as he threw darts with Waddingham, 50, and sipped a pint of cider at the bar.

Indeed, the game appeared to bring back memories of his time as a student at St Andrews University, where he has previously admitted to being a darts regular.

‘Don’t let us start a drinking game, we’ll be here all day doing that as well,’ joked William.

‘What on earth is your obsession with seaweed all about?’ she asked, leading William to talk about the prize winner Notpla, which makes food packaging from plants and seaweed.

The Prince also explained how the prize was about ‘trying to stay positive about it [climate change] rather than negative’.

‘That’s where the [idea for the] award ceremony came from, to celebrate talent and solutions, rather than tell people, “Don’t do this or don’t do that.”

‘You have to be so careful because there’s been a lot of that.’

Perhaps throwing a verbal dart at his brother Prince Harry, who has come under fire for using private jets, William added: ‘I don’t want to preach… I want to find solutions.’
