The Duke of Cambridge joined comedian Stephen Fry for a Zoom skit as part of the BBC's "Big Night In," a charity variety show that aired in the UK on Thursday night.
During the skit, Fry offered to help William and Kate Middleton homeschool their children during lockdown.
When the duke asked about his knowledge of history, he replied: "I'm not too bad at kings and queens, but I'm guessing that may also be your strong point."
William replied: "You'd think so, wouldn't you."

The prince then asked Fry for TV show recommendations to watch during lockdown.
"They told me 'Tiger King' is rather good," Fry said.
"I tend to avoid shows about royalty," William said.

William also joked that he wasn't wearing trousers during the call.

When Fry warned it was almost time to go outside and take part in the weekly "Clap for Carers," William said: "On my way ... let me see if I can find my socks ... and shoes ... and trousers."
Following the Zoom call, William, Middleton, and their children stood outside their home in Norfolk to join the nation in applauding healthcare workers across the UK.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were joined by Prince George (age 6), Princess Charlotte (age 4), and Prince Louis, who was celebrating his second birthday.

William and Middleton previously shared a video of George, Charlotte, and Louis clapping in their garden.
They wrote: "To all the doctors, nurses, carers, GPs, pharmacists, volunteers and other NHS staff working tirelessly to help those affected by #COVID19: thank you."
