Prince William Reveals the 2 Very Different Jobs He Wanted Instead of Royal Life

Prince William said he once wanted to be a policeman and later tried DJing, calling his stage name DJ Xara a failure.

  • On Friday, Prince William appeared on The Graham Norton Show to discuss childhood career aspirations and promote next month's Earthshot Prize ceremony in Mumbai, India.
  • The Prince of Wales revealed he once wanted to be a policeman, saying "I thought I could make a good one," then "went through a phase of wanting to be a DJ" but admitted he "wasn't very good" at it.
  • William joined guests Cate Blanchett, Hannah Waddingham, and Robert Irwin to discuss the Earthshot Prize, which he founded in 2020 to fund solutions protecting the planet.
  • Discussing his downtime, William revealed he is a "big fan" of director Sir Christopher Nolan and loves "getting immersed in deep-thinking films," while his family watches The Celebrity Traitors obsessively.
