Prince William Tells Princess Charlotte’s Favorite Joke on First Solo Trip Since Kate Middleton’s Cancer News [Video]

Prince William is on the road. The 41-year-old Prince of Wales went to the West Midlands near Birmingham, England, on Thursday, marking his first solo trip since his wife, Kate Middleton‘s, cancer news. 

William seemed in good spirits, visiting with several boys from the St. Michael’s Church of England High School to discuss mental health. 

The next in line to the British royal throne was tasked with telling a “dad joke,” but he opted instead to share his daughter, Princess Charlotte’s, favorite wisecrack. 

“I was kind of trying to channel Jack Whitehall because most of his jokes are pretty dad-like,” William said of the British comedian, who recently became a first-time father.
