Prince William is reportedly “100 percent” open to returning to TV punditry after his viral appearance Wednesday night, with broadcasters eager to get him back on screen.
Prince William has sparked a frenzy among TV networks eager to sign him as a football pundit after his viral appearance on TNT Sports. The royal’s insightful take on Aston Villa’s Champions League clash with PSG impressed both fans and broadcasters — and he’s reportedly “100 percent” open to doing it again.
His analysis, which included tactical breakdowns of PSG and praise for Villa boss Unai Emery, racked up nearly a million views within a day. BBC, Amazon Prime, and Sky Sports are now said to be in the race to feature him alongside their regular pundits.
During the segment with Rio Ferdinand and Ally McCoist, Ferdinand jokingly warned, “Do not go for a punditry job please – because I could be out of a job!” With Villa’s matches airing soon on both the BBC and Sky, there are plenty of upcoming opportunities for William to return to the screen.
A royal source said William “absolutely loved the experience” and is passionate about the game, particularly Aston Villa’s recent form. The Prince, also patron of the FA, hopes the team’s success might inspire the England squad in their World Cup qualifiers.
TNT producers were reportedly thrilled with the response and keen to work with William again. While Kensington Palace declined to comment on future plans, fan reactions on social media were overwhelmingly positive, praising his passion, tactical knowledge, and articulate delivery.
