Eugene Levy has revealed Prince William's genuine character after filming with him for The Reluctant Traveler on Apple TV last year.
The duo met in Windsor and enjoyed a pint together for the travel show, with the Hollywood actor sharing his impressions of what the Prince of Wales was truly like when the cameras stopped rolling.
He reflected, "You know what really struck me today? We're all sweating the same stuff - work, health. family. And that's true even for a future king. I was so impressed with the Prince of Wales. It was a charming few hours that we had together. I don't know what I expected, you know, from a royal." It follows Meghan Markle's Emmy nomination.

The monarchy has always been so very formal, but with William... you didn't get that at all. He's a dad who goes to work, and then comes home and, you know, has dinner with his kids.
"There's a normalcy to it that just surprised me. It took me aback, actually, a little bit. He was so down to earth, very funny, very bright. Got to be honest, he was fun to hang with."
He continued: "I kind of hope when William becomes king, I'll still be around to tell my grandson, 'You see that guy wearing the crown? I had a pint with him once.'"
"And hey, as bucket lists go... this is gonna be pretty hard to top. Hard, borderline impossible. But we'll give it a go."
The news follows Prince William's appearance, receiving two Emmy Award nominations, announced just hours after Meghan Markle earned a nomination for the Netflix series With Love, Meghan.
Meghan has received a nomination in the Outstanding Lifestyle Series category, while William's appearance has earned two nods - one for Outstanding Writing For A Nonfiction Program and another for Outstanding Hosted Nonfiction Series or Special.
The winners will be revealed at a ceremony held at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles on October 30.
However, some viewers criticized Meghan's big news, calling the show a "boring slog." One user posted on X, "Tell me without telling me that there are almost zero shows to compete in this category.
"'With Love, Meghan' was the antithesis of entertainment. It was an abysmal, boring slog at best and getting through one episode was painful," they added.
Another agreed, "I had the same thought. The nomination sounds more impressive until you look at what it's actually competing against. My vote is for Wizard of Paws just because the name is cool!"
A third person criticized, "This is absurd! ! That show was bad." A fourth commenter weighed in, adding, "Yikes! It was terrible! The second one was even worse. The only one that was halfway (and I'm being generous) decent was the Christmas one. A couple of the ideas were good."
