Prince William, Princess Kate give into public demand after brutal challenge

Prince William and Princess Kate seemed to have heard the public opinion and offered an honour to very special individual after he won hearts of the UK public.

The Prince of Wales last month had surprised BBC Radio presenter Greg James, who embarked on an eight-day journey on a tandem bike, to raise money for Red Nose Day. The fundraising activity for charity had been a brutal challenge which required Greg to travel 1000 miles on a bicycle.

Every day, Greg had been joined by a special guest and during the fifth day, the RJ was delighted to see the future king come and join him for the challenge. William rode with Greg as they engaged in playful banter.

This was met with a flood of comments urging the royals to give Greg an honour, not only because of how beloved he is for his show but also for the incredible challenge he took on for charity, which will change so many lives.

While Greg isn’t being called for a knighthood as of yet, Kensington Palace shared a “Spring Rewind” for the Prince an Princess of Wales which made the “start of 2026 so special”.

Among the many moments. Greg was included in one of the slides out of the 19 shared on social media.

This delighted the Radio1 Breakfast Show host, who commented, “I made the royal dump!”

Support had been pouring in from listener and famous faces ever since he completed the gruelling challenge.

“It’s been such a struggle at times but everyone has got me through it,” he said after finishing the final leg of the journey. “The thing I’ll remember the most is seeing the joy from everyone and pushing through the pain to get to that joy.”

Greg managed to raised £4,041,910 for Comic Relief, which supports a wide range of charities in the UK, tackling poverty, gender injustice, early childhood and development and homelessness.
