When we see them in public it's all smart suits, designer dresses, polite conversation and warm but controlled smiles.

Now Kate and William have given an unprecedented glimpse into their surprisingly normal life behind closed doors in a very candid radio interview,

The pair dropped in on the Scott Mills show to surprise Radio 1 DJ Adele Roberts who is running the London Marathon on Sunday for their Heads Together Campaign and were surprisingly forthcoming when quizzed about their day-to-day life.

They revealed they enjoy ordering their favourite takeaway curry while lounging in their comfortable clothes watching Homeland or Game of Thrones at Kensington Palace. 

William divulged he and Kate had partied with Tinie Tempah at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Bangor and even joked about his notorious 'dad dancing' in Verbier, when he admitted the couple would love to go to Glastonbury but haven't yet managed it. 

'I've got into enough trouble with my dancing recently. So it's probably best to stay away from that one,' he said. 

Coldplay at Wembley was the last concert they attended, and William even admitted to texting song requests to DJs under a fake name in order to get shout outs on the radio.  



'I got a shout out the other day from Adele, and one ages ago from Sara Cox,' he said.

'I felt very privileged. I’m probably on the edge of your age limit, I’m probably supposed to go on radio 2 now but I’m hanging on in there.'

'What were you doing texting while driving?' Kate asked, laughing. 

William rushed to assure her, and listeners, that he pulls into a lay-by as it 'would be illegal' otherwise.

On the subject of music, William said they had been to Radio 1's Big Weekend where he got 'a very sweaty man hug from Tinie Tempah'.

'Do you ever think, if I wore a comedy beard and hat I could go into that crowd?' Scott asked.

'It has crossed our mind - who’s to say we haven’t done that already?' William replied. 

Of course, with two young children at home the couple don't have much opportunity to go to gigs and festivals and are more likely to be at home watching children's TV shows with George and Charlotte.
