Prince William 'swears' on TV!

Prince William shocked the British nation when he uttered the word 'b*llocking' on television.

Chatting to the TV presenters for the documentary When Ant and Dec Met the Prince: 40 Years of the Prince's Trust, Prince William and his brother Prince Harry described letters they received from their father while at Eton.

'As it gets later in the evening, when it’s about 12 o’clock he’s writing letters, we can tell instantly because it starts going off the page when he’s falling asleep,' the father of two explained.

Harry chimed in: 'At school we regularly swapped letters and said “I think I know what it says can you read it to me?”'

Then the Prince used the 'B' word: 'Just in case it was a b*llocking we didn’t know about.'
