- A PR adviser sees it as a response to Harry’s media activity.
- 71 per cent of surveyed readers said it made royals more relatable.

## Summary

Prince William’s appearance on The Graham Norton Show has been interpreted by PR adviser Mark Borkowski as a response to Prince Harry and Meghan’s high-profile media activity. Borkowski argues that engaging in a public contest for attention breaks with the Royal family’s tradition of restraint and risks making William appear caught up in sibling rivalry.

William used the programme to discuss the Earthshot Prize and share personal interests, including Celebrity Traitors and Aston Villa. His appearance came two days after Harry gave a GQ interview that revisited family tensions, amid the Sussexes’ return to the UK. A Daily Mail reader poll cited in the article found that 71 per cent thought William’s appearance made the royals more relatable.
