\u201cYou\u2019ve been born into your job. As a child, did you fantasize about doing other things?\u201d host Norton asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you kind of think \u2018When I grow up I might not be King, I\u2019ll do this\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n
As the audience laughed, the royal said agreed there \u201cwere elements of that\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou didn\u2019t want to go wrangle crocodiles,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Prince William laughed and joked that if only he had met the conservationist sooner, that could have been the case.<\/p>\n
\u201cI did want to be a policeman when I was younger, I thought I could make a good policeman,\u201d the Prince of Wales said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing a policeman I thought was quite cool.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd then I went through a phase where I wanted to be a DJ, which didn\u2019t go very well.\u201d<\/p>\n
The revelation was met with laughter from those sitting alongside him on the couch before he revealed what his DJ name would have been.<\/p>\n
\u201cI came up with a name, I was called DJ Xara with an X, it wasn\u2019t good,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Waddingham agreed, calling the name \u201crubbish\u201d, while Blanchett queried where the X could be found in the name and the pair crossed their arms in an X formation.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt rapidly became very uncool,\u201d Prince William conceded.<\/p>\n
When Norton asked if he had ever DJed at parties, he said he \u201cnever got that good\u201d.<\/p>\n
The royal shared the clip, posted by the Graham Norton Show on the Instagram account that he shares with wife Catherine.<\/p>\n
