The future king is going full talk-show mode. Prince William becomes the first member of the royal family ever to appear on The Graham Norton Show — and the episode airs tonight.

William taped the show on October 22 and was on the famous red sofa to talk about his Earthshot Prize, whose annual awards ceremony heads to Mumbai, India next month. He was joined by Earthshot supporters Cate Blanchett, Hannah Waddingham and Robert Irwin, InStyle reports.

The real gold came from Norton’s questions. Asked what he’d do if he hadn’t been born royal, William named two careers: a police officer — and, through a phase, a DJ, admitting of the latter that he “wasn’t very good.”

“I did want to be a policeman when I was younger,” he said. “I thought I could make a good one. And then I went through a phase of wanting to be a DJ — I wasn’t very good.”

He also gave film nerds something to chew on: he relaxes by watching movies and is “a big fan of everything Christopher Nolan does,” calling The Dark Knight series “psychologically dark and deep.” And in peak dad energy, he revealed that Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are obsessed with Celebrity Traitors: “I love it, the family love it. Charlotte and Louis are obsessed with it. It’s really good telly.”
