Prince William stunned BBC Radio 1 host Greg James earlier today as he joined him for part of his cycle across the UK to raise money for BBC Comic Relief. The Prince of Wales immediately proved he was game, donning a red helmet and climbing onto the back of James’ tandem bike.
William joined him just north of Doncaster, and they cycled together through the South Yorkshire countryside as James made his way from Weymouth to Edinburgh over eight days on a 1,000km challenge.
Joining the broadcaster on the fifth day of his challenge, William said: “What you’ve done is set an example about helping out.”

He continued: “That’s the thing. It’s volunteering some of your time, putting yourself through a bit of pain at the same time, and supporting others.
“It’s something we do very well in this country, but we don’t really shout about it enough. This challenge helps everyone see that. And it’s an amazing team effort. Huge well done, Greg.”
Earlier this week, the prince sent a letter to James, wishing him luck as he embarked on his challenge.
Describing the moment he was surprised by Prince William, James said: “I’ve got so many flies in my mouth because I’ve been cycling with my mouth wide open. All our jaws are on the floor from how mad that all was.”

“We did a special Radio 1 show with Prince William not long ago, about suicide prevention. After we recorded it, I jokingly told William to get some lycra on and get on the tandem with me for this challenge. And we laughed about it and I thought that was the end of that.”
“But today, we suddenly had to dive off the route, go down this little dirt track, and Prince William was just standing there. In the middle of Yorkshire.”
“Good job, honestly!” Prince William said at the end of their journey. “I was worried there was a few potholes you hadn’t seen, but apart from that, we were ok.”
Prince William also had the special task of announcing that James had raised an impressive £1million in donations.
