Prince William’s laugh compared to King Charles in video with Hannah Waddingham
In the clip, Hannah said to the future king: “I’m feeling equal joy and terror about playing darts with, you know, the future king of England.”
As the pair enjoyed a cider, Prince William let Hannah go first. As she geared up to take a shot at the dartboard, William told her: “Go for the bullseye.”
You can hear his father’s voice in the laughter. How sweet!
However, as Ted Lasso star Hannah missed the board entirely, William let out a belly laugh.
He joked: “It’s alright, Hannah. It’s at least on the green, it’s not on the floor.”
The full video is available to watch on YouTube. However, the short snippet garnered many comments from royal fans on Instagram.
Many thought William was just like his father, Charles. One person commented: “You can hear his father’s voice in the laughter. How sweet!”
Someone replied: “Exactly what I thought!”
Another wrote: “Charles’ laughter right there.”
Someone else said: “What a naughty laugh Your Highness.”
Another added: “I’ve never heard a belly laugh like that from William.”

Speaking to FEMAIL, Judi said: “It is all playful, schoolboy-sounding chuckles and giggles from William as Hannah takes over the direction of the shot while he holds his arms out in a barrier, trying to hide the dart from view.
“His wide, uproarious smile with its edge-to-edge teeth suggests genuine pleasure and playful good humour here as he allows himself to be teased by a celebrity his behaviour suggests he might secretly be in awe of.”
Judi also said that during the video, William’s “famously competitive traits shine through”.
