Prince William could\u2019ve been the king of the club. <\/p>\n

The 44-year-old royal, who joined the Oct. 23 episode of \u201cThe Graham Norton Show,\u201d opened up about how he once aspired to be a DJ in his younger years. And he even had a stage name. <\/p>\n

\u201cI went through a phase where I wanted to be a DJ, which didn\u2019t go very well,\u201d the prince said, laughing. \u201cAnd I came up with a name. It was called DJ Xara with an X. It wasn\u2019t good.\u201d <\/p>\n

William \u2014 who joined the longtime British talk show alongside fellow guests Cate Blanchett, Hannah Waddingham and Robert Irwin \u2014 acknowledged that as a child, he did, in fact, fantasize about going into a non-royal profession. <\/p>\n

William told host Graham Norton that at one point, he thought about perhaps becoming a police officer. <\/p>\n

\u201cBeing a policeman, I thought was quite cool,\u201d William said. <\/p>\n

Then came the DJ phase, William explained. Unfortunately, the Prince of Wales never got to play any gigs. When asked if he ever DJ\u2019d any school parties, the prince gave an honest answer. <\/p>\n

\u201cNo, I didn\u2019t,\u201d William said, smiling. \u201cI never got that good.\u201d <\/p>\n

Prince William, the heir apparent to the British throne, may not be in the DJ booth these days, but he appears to be pretty busy, working on charitable projects and carrying out his official royal duties. <\/a>Some of his main causes<\/a> include the environment, homelessness and the armed forces. <\/p>\n

He does, of course, have down time, which he fills with some good \u2018ol reality TV. Prince William told Norton that he and his children are big fans of \u201cThe Celebrity Traitors,\u201d hosted by broadcaster Claudia Winkleman. <\/p>\n

\u201cI love it. The family love it,\u201d he said of the show. \u201cCharlotte and Louis are obsessed with it. It\u2019s really good telly.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince William could\u2019ve been the king of the club.
