Prince William and Princess Kate seemed to have listened to public opinion and offered an honor to a very special person after he won the hearts of the UK public.
The Prince of Wales surprised BBC radio presenter Greg James last month by embarking on an eight-day trip on a tandem bicycle to raise funds for Red Nose Day. The charity fundraiser had been a brutal challenge, requiring Greg to travel 1,000 miles by bike.
Every day, Greg was joined by a special guest and on the fifth day, RJ was delighted to see the future king come and join him for the challenge. William rode with Greg as they joked.
This was met with a flood of comments urging the royals to give Greg an honour, not only because of how loved he is by his show but also because of the incredible challenge he took on for charity, which will change so many lives.
While Greg has yet to be called up for the knighthood, Kensington Palace shared a “Spring Rewind” for the Prince and Princess of Wales that made the “start of 2026 so special.”
Among the many moments. Greg was included in one of the 19 slides shared on social media.
This delighted the Radio1 Breakfast Show presenter, who commented: “I made the royal dump!”
Support from listeners and famous faces had poured in since completing the grueling challenge.
“It’s been a big struggle at times, but everyone helped me get through it,” he said after finishing the last leg of the trip. “What I will remember most is seeing everyone’s joy and overcoming the pain to get to that joy.”
Greg managed to raise £4,041,910 for Comic Relief, which supports a wide range of charities in the UK, fighting poverty, gender injustice, early childhood and development and homelessness.
