Stuart Heritage is a journalist for the Guardian, mostly covering film, music and television industry news. He was one of two Guardian reporters tasked with the Guardian’s live-blog of last night’s BAFTAs, which was attended by Prince William and his be-gloved wife. Halfway through the Guardian’s live-blog, Heritage dropped in to tell this amazing story about witnessing William’s behavior at last year’s royal premiere of Top Gun: Maverick:
Here’s a fun little story that I think I’m allowed to tell. Earlier this year I went to the Top Gun: Maverick premiere, and Prince William was there. And he did this big long meet and greet with all the film’s stars, who are all American and therefore all automatically a bit iffy on the idea of a monarchy in the first place.
Anyway, during this meet and greet, Prince William kept pointing at his shoes, and the film’s cast all responded by doing this weird noncommittal ‘Oh’ face in return. This is because, it turns out, Prince William was wearing special shoes that had fighter jets embroidered on them.
Imagine that for a moment. You’ve made a film. The film is going to single-handedly revive the global theatrical experience. And here you are, in London, watching the future king of England point at his special aeroplane shoes. Like a child would. Imagine being Jon Hamm trying to think of something to say to a literal prince who is determined to show you his special little aeroplane shoes, because he thinks they will somehow delight you. Imagine it.
Anyway, Prince William is wearing normal shoes today. Good.
I mean… this is pretty bad. We kind of knew it real time, because the British papers kept talking about William’s special embroidered airplane slippers, but I didn’t know he actually pointed at his shoes repeatedly as he was being introduced to the stars of Top Gun: Maverick. That royal premiere wasn’t even the first time he saw the movie – Tom Cruise gave William and Kate a private screening before the royal premiere. William was so excited to see the movie again that he had special embroidered slippers made for the royal premiere, then he made all of the Americans admire them. Wow.

Oh dear. I’m kind of embarrassed for him. 😬
That is so cringe of him – and I bet he has no idea that other people find this behaviour odd from a fully grown man.
Let us not not be too judgmental. I think it’s nice of Prance Iam to point at his Shein imported ballet flats, isn’t it? At least we, the peasants, now know exactly where to drop a kiss.
These two are so ready to sign on the dotted line to join Tom’s cult, I mean, church! They’ve got the money, the time, the bruised egos, and the belief that they are superior to everyone else. Perfect new monied members, which Scientology desperately needs after all the past decade or so of truth-telling from former members. Plus, Khate can get the name of Tom’s face doctor, but only after she goes through the vitamin therapy. Undoubtedly, Tom will happily show Will I Am his closet full of embroidered slippers.
I normally don’t post . The compression sock gloves; the baseball sleeve glove; the calfing vet glove…. I just can’t waste my time or brain cells on these two. Aeroplane Slippers to boot.
That was brutal. Why would he think that actors in a movie would be obsessed with planes? It’s not like any of them are real top guns.
It makes the moment about him and not the accomplishments of people with more talent. He’s avoiding acknowledging he is not the center of attention.
Lucky for England that the premier was about planes and not, The Great Train Robbery because William would have gone around pointing to his shoes with choo-choos on them. Actually, I think it’s remarkable that a “journalist” had such a story and kept it quiet. Then, when he chooses to disclose it, he’s still hesitant to do so and says things like, “I think it’s okay for me to tell this now.” Are you kidding? They’re such cowards there.
“Anyway, Prince William is wearing normal shoes today. Good.”
Lol, I died!
People are really losing their patience with TOB Billy Pegs, right? If the trend continues, KKKate should avoid buses because she will be thrown under one.
Always desperate, always cringey. The Wails are a perfect match for each other.
Right now they’re chucking Andrew under the bus HARD. 😂 Kate has some breathing room.
Imagine spending money having your shoes embroidered for a movie premiere! Another ‘let them eat cake’ moment from the Clown Prince. Wake up UK!
Was this one of the premieres that cost an absolute ton of money? Now we know why. People in Britain are starving, but Willy needs special shoes to impress the movie stars.
Yes this is subtle but more critical of William than we have seen in ages by media type persons in the UK.
Funny & savage, emphasizing “the future king’s” childishness. Love it! Let’s have more!
If I were in Willnot’s embroidered slippers, I would read this as the threat it is. THIS is a story they felt they had permission to share, the implication isn’t even subtle. They are desperate to start leaking the truth.
Like the rest of the Royal Family he can’t relate to people on a normal level. His shoes were lame. William is really turning into Charles.
Exactly. Meanwhile Tom was all “You wear your little slippers while I just wear the hell out of this tuxedo. Oh by the way – I’m going to actually touch your wife.”
SarahLee, thanks for the good laugh. 👍
Your comment also made me think “Damn Wills is really pretty lame next to Tom Cruise, megastar. And Cruise has the CoS crap.
Tom should have completely turned on the charm at Kate.
He’s such a weirdo. Like, you want the attention. It’s not even that you’re paying homage to the movie. You didn’t gift the cast with their own plane-bejeweled kiddie loafers, you just wanted a pat on the back for a stupid stunt. William, you’re not supposed to have to fish for compliments. People are supposed to be able to look at what you’re wearing and decide for themselves if they think it’s special. You’ve been too coddled your whole life and there are too man yes-men and yes-Kates in your orbit. Come down to the real world.
He should have worn these shoes with his BAFTA ensemble. Like I said B4, that tux last night was giving off FLYING DOWN TO RIO vibes.
And are there stories he’s not allowed to tell? 🤔
I’ve noticed the exact same thing!!! A story he is allowed to tell? Imagine that…
Right?? What a very telling comment…….
I mean, he’s probably allowed to tell it, but I doubt they’re happy he told it THAT way.
It’s not even shady—it’s an outright ridicule. I love and hate that “Future King: Look at My Airplane Shoes” reminds me of my 4-year-old son pointing out his helicopter socks…namely, I love my son and I hate putting him in the same thought/sentence as William Wails.
The difference is that your son is 4 and Will is 40 – it is cute at 4, pathetic at 40. *Cackling* God his behaviour is SO embarrassing!
The cringe is off the scale on this one…What a blithering idiot!
Um… All I have is ‘Bless his heart’.
I got nothin’ beyond that.
I howled at this story. Wearing the shoes was one thing, pointing them out over and over again was something different entirely. If you are going to wear slippers embroidered with jets to a movie premiere, you don’t point them out. You wait for someone to notice and then you have a prepared quip about trying to fit the theme or something.
I love that this story finally got out though on the night William and Kate are trying to have a big red carpet moment. Lets talk about his fighter jets slippers instead lol.
Did he point out his special shoes so that it looked like they bowed to him when they looked down at them?!?!?!?! 🧐
This. This is the first thing that that came to mind.
LMAO! I bet you are right!
He’s such a charisma void. I wonder what Kate thinks, as he dies on his arse every time. “Oh god, stop mentioning the shoes…please, oh no, not Jon Hamm…oh please earth, open up and swallow me.”
I think she’s smoking the same stuff as the rest of them. She may see him ‘behind the scenes’ but if we know one thing about these people it’s that they are their roles/titles 24/7. He’s a prince and can do no wrong. Collective delusion.
Ah considering she’s got such a pole up her arse she probably thinks “you admired his slippers! You don’t know him well enough to admire his slippers! Apologize!”
I don’t know. Given Kate’s love of theme dressing, she was probably like, “That’s genius! May I also embroider it on my dress?” To which Wills would scream, “No! Airplanes are MY thing!”
Absolutely crying at this commment right here. This exchange should make the podcast comments of the week!
Lux needs an award for this comment. STAT!
Haha thanks, ladies! With these ppl, the jokes write themselves …
😂🤣😂😀😂
William is definitely odd. You would think at 40 he would be a lot smoother doing these meet and greets but alas no. Didn’t some reporter try and claim how charming he was and how Kate was the awkward one?
For as much of a dick as he is confirmed to be (including wanting people to give a shit about his custom slippers), I fully believe Kate is the more awkward one.
Wow, looking at the Top Gun and BAFTAS looks next to each other, I feel bad about ragging on the Roland Mouret. Yikes.
I think the long black gloves (stopping before the elbow, though) would look better with the Top Gun dress.
I think the long black gloves were to hide the very muscular arms we saw at the TG premiere.
Royals, but especially the heirs, come across as little children, ridiculously infantilized. The power of the king is just the whims of an overly coddled adult. Charles and William are like this. Even the queen was really.
They’ve been told they’re special from birth and live in a bubble of people agreeing with them or trying to steer them ever so gently. They could try to address this by being curious about the wider world and how others live but they choose not to.
Well both Charles and Andrew kept their teddy bears with them far into middle age (perhaps the cuddle them still). They really are all suffering from arrested development to a pathological degree.
All of them are infants. Harry explained it well in his book.
These people have no responsibility, skills, talent and yet they are feted and glorified like they solved a major crisis.
When you realise exactly what a set of nut jobs (and I’m being polite & nice here) they all are it makes you so happy that Harry gets to finally have the normal family life he always craved. Thank goodness he met Meghan. I’m so happy for them both.
His whole behavior reminds me that of a child… I have the feeling that he hasn’t grown up much after adolescence ..
I think his antics at the Top Gun premiere has cemented the fact that he is still a child. It’s quite comical that we learned of this though!!
At least they didn’t light up like the ones all the preschoolers have.
😂😂😂😂😂 Look at my shoes, please look at my shoes they have little aeroplanes on them, and look look, that one has a little R on its wings and that one has a little L on it’s wings, papa said it helps me with the effect 😂😂😂,
It’s like he really wanted someone to give him a special sticker for his shoes or something. Here’s a gold star, Willy. Job well done. 🙄
Desperate for approval as usual. Is the obsession with the shoes why he couldn’t be arsed to help his wife up the stairs and Tom Cruise had to do it?
Well, he sure as hell ain’t get any gold stars for chivalry.
Did he tell people the jets on his slippers go “VROOM! VROOM!” as well?
This story is even funnier after reading it again. “…And here you are, in London, watching the future king of England point at his special aeroplane shoes. Like a child would…”
Proof of FreeWilly’s lack of diplomatic skills was bad enough. Proof of lack of social skills and obvious arrested development in this 40 yo manchild who’s also a future head of state and head of church is frightening. It also explains a lot. Yeah, if I was the BRF and BM, I’d sanction article after article screaming for Harry to come back too!
I know I shouldn’t be surprised or dismayed by anything we hear about him anymore, but I’m just so….let down by William. I can’t believe that he wound up like this. I mean, I can. But it just boggles the mind that the William of 1997 wound up here. Sigh. I just always assumed that the worst case scenario for both W&H was that they’d wind up like Charles, but now it seems that William is just Andrew all over again: arrogant and empty-headed and pathetic in almost every way. He’s so self-centered that at this point it seems to be his only character trait.
William is definitely Andrew. I truly pity anyone who has to interact with him.
always fun to see the Ass of Lies reappear. it’s even worse than the aeroplane slippers!
Well no wonder they always needed Harry to help Willy be king. He really is a child trapped in a man’s body. I always wondered why they pushed that narrative. Willy boy absolutely has some kind of problem.
40 years old, wealthy beyond belief and his big concern is ” Check out my fancy slippers, guys”
Get out of here.
This is some “Being There” level sh$t
😂😂🤣. This reminds me of the time that George was running around in the sidelines of a polo game showing everyone a picture (probably one that he drew) . The adults all feigned interest but the kids were like “eh, go away” until finally George got shoved down a slope. Neither seem very good at reading people or a room.
I remember when smug George got rolled down the little hill. Anne’s granddaughter Savannah did it
Sadly embroidered evening shoes to go with your DJ are a British posh boy thing. In the “right” crowd they’ll mostly all be wearing them.
I guess they work as a conversation starter?
But that’s just an extension of the same problem…. a failure to understand how whatever stupid trend the “cool kids” in Norfolk are embracing at the moment might come across a little differently outside of his posh, pathetic little bubble.
The shoes themselves weren’t the issue. I mean they were cheesy, but whatever. Its that he expected everyone to notice them and comment on them and make a big deal about them. Just because something is “done” in the British posh circles doesn’t mean that the Hollywood elite is going to be super impressed with them.
If Tom Cruise had been informed of his slippers and need for attention, I am sure everyone in the Top Gun premiere would have noticed and complimented them. Cruise is that attentive to detail.
But William’s staff is so lame, they didn’t protect him from himself.
The stories of the premiere reported at the time about the jet embroidered shoes and that they were replicas of the F14s, and that was it. Now that it’s come out Look at Me William was pointing them out to actors brings this to a whole cringeworthy level. And I find it remarkable that this mocking article is really going in for the jugular, no holds barred.
If he needs the attention that badly, he should have had a few pairs made so that they could be taken home by the cast as a keepsake. Yes, it’s cheesy, but at least there would be a point to it. A photo of William and Tom in matching airplane slippers – now that would have gotten him the headlines he was so desperate for!
He could even have announced he would auction off the slippers to benefit the air ambulance service, because it’s not like he’s going to wear them again.
Aw! Someone should get him those shoes that light up when one walks! Wouldn’t that be PRECIOUS? Imagine the utter delight when Big Bald Baby stomps his aristocratic feet?
To quote Sheldon’s mother from The Big Bang Theory
https://thumbs.gfycat.com/ColdFatGoshawk-size_restricted.gif
Seriously, someone should have had William tested after that head injury.
This is what happens when you are told that, just by birth , you are better than everyone else. No personality, no conversational skills, just “look at my shoes”.
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ Willy is socringe.
This story is really just outright poking fun at Willy. Is this the first time we have seen such open mockery? They used to criticize before Meg, but open mockery? I think this is the first time. It really is quite remarkable.
This is the Guardian. It doesn’t kiss the behinds of the British royals.
I laughed at this really hard. TOB trying real hard to snatch some of that fashion coverage from his wife, but it isn’t happening. You know he’s going to try to donate those shoes to be displayed to the public along with notable royal gowns.
Just imagine if you are the tenth person in that receiving line, watching him point at his shoes and seeing everyone ahead of you do the confused/bemused face in turn. WTF, you whisper to the person next to you. Is there something about the floor? The carpet? “No, he had special embroidered slippers made. He’s very proud of them.”
If Tom is still recruiting for the cult, dim & awkward William is ripe for the picking.
😂😂😂
Honestly, if having special velvet shoes puts him in a good mood for once, let him have all the custom shoes.
On a trip to an animal sanctuary? Embroidered badgers.
On a trip to a laboratory? Embroidered beakers.
On a trip to to New York? Embroidered apples.
At the BAFTAs? Embroidered cameras.
The Coronation? Embroidered message that reads, ‘I’d hate it if you tripped and died today, Pa.’
Everyone can be informed ahead of time to compliment his footwear, and he’ll show off his shoes, leave, and then people can get back to doing what they need to do.
@CC Great call!
After they compliment his shoes they can say what we all say to proud 4-year-olds with new kicks, “I’ll bet they make you run REALLY fast! Why don’t you show me?”
On a trip to the Chelsea Flower Show? Embroidered Roses.
On a trip to Norfolk? Embroidered Ros….. oh.
They are so bad at this. Their obsession with celebrities and movie stars and they are finally together with them and this is how he acts, like Louie showing off his plastic airplane.
And again, they are so bad at this. Say what you want about Cruise, but that man knows how to work a room. And Bruckheimer and Kkkhate walking behind them says alot. Imagine walking next to the biggest, most connected producer in the world and not working him so y’all can get together on a charity or documentary in the future.
I ain’t looking to compare but, Harry sure didn’t have a problem talking up Meghan to Bob Iger during The Lion King promotion they attended.
Will has no social skills because he never had to develop them because he’s always been surrounded by lickspittles.
Oh my god I love that he brought John Hamm into this.
Not surprised.
Also wouldn’t have been surprised if Will had made fun of Tom on the red carpet, he does stupid stuff like that, and you’d think after Tom got in there and used Kate as a photo op he would have but no Will probably didn’t even notice, that’s how much he does not give a fig about her.
No words. 😳The burning of my second-hand embarrassment overwhelms.
🤓👞🛩️
Same. Omg I die.
This is one of the reasons why Willy needs Harry, to clean up after him. Willy offends all and sundry at events; Harry charms and soothes the offended. That story about Willy’s stupid “joke” at the harpist’s expense (she was late through no fault of her own) – saying Harry might have to play, har-har. Afterwards, Harry went up to her to congratulate and thank her. His Williness? Still telling the other guests how witty he was.
It’s very clear now. Harry’s not the dim bulb; Willy is.
But see, now we know that William communicates via shoe embroidery. This is an exciting new development and ups his vapid level to 12. So what will he embroider and wear at his Dad’s big dress-up party??
Jets? Airplanes? Is THAT what it was?
I only noticed he was wearing velvet slippers. I assumed it was the PoW crest.
Eh, whatever.
At least someone got a job embroidering them. I hope got good money.
So embarrassing.
But this is what you get when someone is brought up surrounded by yes men who laugh uproariously at all their terrible jokes, and noone ever tells them they’re wrong or something is not appropriate (because they’re terrified of your volcanic temper).
This is on a par with a toddler proudly showing you the contents of their potty, to which you feel obliged to say something like “well done darling”, etc. But he’s 40.
You can’t tell me this man doesn’t need mental help. One minute he is abusive to his brother, screaming at him and physically attacking him and the next moment he wants a cookie for wearing airplane shoes to a movie premiere . Like this is not normal behavior for a grown man.
That and;
He is unaware that he has passed the age where ‘ ‘one kisses the boo boo’ stage of child development.
If this were the worst of it, he’d be strange but it wouldn’t matter. It deeply does not matter if someone is deemed “cringe” — go ahead and be proud of your airplane shoes, Willy, whatever. Finding joy in silly things is an important life skill. The problem is that he is a ragemonster and in bed with the tabloids.
This behavior so reminds me of every .single. holiday concert where a 5 year old, always in the front row, lifts up her dress to show off her big girl panties.
Is William trying to make a fashion statement with evening wear? Green velvet, piping- giving off Hugh Hefner and “dandy” vibes. A classic tuxedo does a lot for most men- William should go back to wearing them.
Billy is so basic, isn’t he? He seems to have the emotional age of a 6 year old.
And after the premiere Willy went home to bed and slept in his special jim-jams that have fighter jets on them.
OMG, not those silly slippers again. I am flabbergasted that he made everyone admire them, maybe he thought the lowly actors would be mighty impressed by his ability to choose his own clothes.
” … here you are, in London, watching the future king of England point at his special aeroplane shoes.”
I’m going to save that sentence to read on days when I need a laugh.
@quite Omg .. you made me spray laugh my H2O
Imagine a nation whose legal and media infrastructures are dedicated to embiggening and protecting this man-child-Prince who demands praise for his special shoes while its citizens struggle to pay for heat and food. This is modern Britain.
Every time I see the photo of Tom Cruise helping Kate up the steps, I remember my first reaction, which was: Tom Cruise is helping a frail lady up a difficult step! She looks so bad (ill) that I couldn’t work out who it was. I assumed she was pretty old.
Well, I guess WanK are a good match Afterall. Neither of them is capable of holding a decent social conversation. I cannot imagine them as “soft” diplomats. Why in heavens name would anyone be wanting to skip KFC for Fails? Do the Tories have such a lock on him that they can’t wait to use the palace stooges to control him?
He just… pointed to them?
imagine the vicious mockery and conspiracy theories by the tabs for weeks if this had been harry or if meghan had worn anything as bad as kate did the other night
Parts of him are stunted at 8 years old when he fractured his skull. Parts of him are stunted at 15 when he lost his mom. None of him is a well-adjusted adult.
Very curious about this. Would deep therapy even work? Would explain so much about his inability to regulate emotion and his expectations of his brother (just according to Spare)
Ideally, you’d take him out of his current environment and immerse him in a small community of healthy adults who can model functional relationships while enforcing boundaries and consequences. Basically, he’d need to be re-parented and re-socialized. Add in a few years of Dialectical Behavior Therapy for his intense emotions and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for his executive dysfunction. He’d also need to follow brain-injury lifestyle changes like avoiding mood-altering substances, reducing stress, and adhering to a strict sleep schedule for the rest of his life. So, theoretically yes but he’d have to want help. Realistically… that’s not likely.
I wonder how serious that injury was? It was a fracture? If we didn’t already know the RF’s history of explosive temper I would’ve had money on that having more of an impact than we were made aware of and maybe that’s what they didn’t want coming out. But we know about their tempers. But oh deary me 🙀
I am irritated by the way the media protects this man-child.
An above comment strikes me as very true.
I had noticed that Kate was walking next to Jerry B, Producer.
She didn’t even think to schmooze him for some charity? What a fool!
H&M are savvy enough, they’d have him signed up or coming for tea to discuss future plans.
Kate didn’t even think to try. A new level of lazy, and dumb.
Did anyone else think Kate deliberately held her purse on Wills’ side so that her hand was available for Tom Cruise to assist? I thought of it. Crazy w/CoS as he in, dammit it’s Maverick!
Star power. I will give Cruise some credit, that is good manners to offer his hand.
William sure doesn’t have a bit of charm or basic manners toward his wife, does he?
He and KingTampon are 2 of a kind.
This is something I’d imagine the late Hugh Hefner would wear with a smoking jacket..I’m actually embarrassed…
Yes, but the skeezeball Hefner would have the sense and the dignity not to draw attention to the ding-dang airplane slippers.
