Overview
- Biggins says his opinion of the Prince of Wales shifted after meeting him backstage at the Royal Albert Hall on November 19 following the Royal Variety Performance.
- He told William he once took Princess Diana to see Liza Minnelli at the same venue and said the prince seemed genuinely moved by the memory.
- The actor praised the Princess of Wales, recalling Kate’s revelation that she played Principal Boy in Dick Whittington as a girl and his cheeky response that drew a lighthearted warning from her.
- He criticized Prince Andrew as having behaved “ridiculously,” said he feels no sympathy for him, and worked a gag about “Fergie and Andrew” into his current pantomime at the Birmingham Hippodrome.
- Outlets published the remarks on December 27 citing his Telegraph interview, and there has been no official response from the royal household.
