Wiliam and Harry interviewed on BBC

William and Harry are touring the TV studios today. They did Channel 9 Australia earlier in the day, and they have just appeared on the BBC.

William told interviewer Sue Barker, when she mentioned the pictures of William and Kate hugging and holding each other as Britain’s cyclists pedalled to gold medal glory, "I was absolutely dreading the kiss-cam would focus on me and my wife.”

Harry talked about the racehorse which he part-owns, named Usain Colt.

The brothers revealed they were kept "completely in the dark" about the James Bond short shot for the Olympic opening ceremony, featuring surprise scenes, shot in Buckingham Palace and featuring the Queen alongside Bond star Daniel Craig.

Harry said: "Both of us were slightly surprised with our grandmother's secret hobby that she had of parachuting which went down unbelievably well…You don't expect the Queen to do something like that. But what she does in her spare time is her spare time.”
