Prince William quizzed one of the recipients on the benefits of AI
The Prince and Princess of Wales have offered a rare insight into the investiture process during an award ceremony at Windsor Castle on Tuesday.
The royal couple’s social media team offered followers an unprecedented glimpse into the occasion by releasing a video with an unusual focus.
Rather than focusing on those receiving their awards, the footage captured the heartfelt reactions of family members and friends watching their loved ones’ special moments.
The clip, posted to their 17million followers, provided viewers with the same vantage point enjoyed by the royals themselves during such ceremonies.

It marked the first occasion that the public has been given this particular perspective, revealing the genuine joy and pride visible on the faces of those in attendance.
The video struck a chord with royal enthusiasts, who flooded the comments with emotional responses. “Ohhh I love this. What pride they show. Tears in my eyes,” wrote one viewer, while another commented: “Lovely! You can really feel the effort and emotion behind this moment, so special to see.”
Among Tuesday’s honourees was television writer Sir Roy Clarke, who received a Knight Bachelor for his contributions to entertainment.
The royal household’s own nanny, Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo, was also recognised with the silver Royal Victorian Medal.
This particular distinction is bestowed by King Charles personally for devoted service to the monarch or royal family, differing from honours such as MBEs and knighthoods which are typically awarded on ministerial advice or through independent committees.

The former international, who earned 37 caps representing Wales, revealed that William discussed the national team’s recent Six Nations triumph over Italy on 14 March with him.
That victory ended a three-year drought for Wales in the tournament.
“It has been tough for Wales on and off the field, with uncertainty around regions and finances,” Davies said. “Hopefully things can be resolved and the win will give them momentum and give all the future Welsh players the best opportunity to perform at international level.”
The broadcaster now organises cycling challenges raising funds for cancer charities in Wales, having lost both his wife Karen and father Ken to different forms of the disease.
Jonathan Piers Linney, the former Dragons’ Den investor who now leads an artificial intelligence start-up, was awarded an MBE for his services to small business, entrepreneurs, investors, banking, diversity and social mobility.
The entrepreneur disclosed that Prince William quizzed him about the advantages and drawbacks of AI technology.

“AI is an arms race,” Linney said. “Whether AI becomes sentient or conscious is where it becomes more dangerous. With super intelligence, we’re not going to understand how it works and we won’t be able to keep it in a box.”
He warned that the technology would inevitably escape human control, stressing that ethical frameworks and international cooperation were paramount.
“It will be as if an alien species lands on this planet in 10 years, maximum,” he added.
Linney confirmed he has no plans to return to Dragons’ Den.
