One is amused! Kate can’t stop giggling as Bradley Walsh opens Royal Variety Performance with awkward joke about being snubbed for an MBE and OBE at star-studded show (but viewers are NOT impressed with his hosting skills!)

Kate couldn’t stop giggling as Bradley Walsh opened the Royal Variety Performance show with an awkward joke about being snubbed for an MBE and OBE at the star-studded show. 

The show’s host Mr Walsh opened the event with a few jokes, one of which was about him being snubbed for an MBE and OBE.

Addressing Prince William, he said: ‘I have worked for your greatnan, your nan, your granddad, your dad, and now I’m working for your Sir and Madam. 

‘And I must say – ask me if I’ve got an MBE. Nah, ain’t got one. Ask me if I’ve got an OBE – nah, ain’t got one of them. Ask me if I’ve got a CBE – no!’

He went on to say ‘they’ve probably run out’ of those honours because ‘they give them all to people who row boats’ and ‘people on telly who bake cakes’.

Mr Walsh said he ‘entertained troops in the Falklands’ and was ‘happy to make it out alive’ while others got commended for their ‘victoria sponge’ cakes.

The Princess and Prince of Wales attended the event at the Royal Albert Hall with Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden and her husband Prince Daniel, who were in the UK on an official visit.

Mr Walsh also made a joke on the ‘royal highnesses’ being in attendance, with the camera switching to William and Kate as they laughed away. 

Mr Walsh’s awkward joke started with him greeting the ‘royal highness, or royal highnesses’, with him pretending to stumble over the word several times.

‘It doesn’t sound right, your royal highnessesses? There’s too many “ssessess”, innit? Your royal highness… your royal highnessesses?,’ he said.

‘It should be like cactus, cactussess, cacti. Your royal highness, highnessess and highni. That’s it. I’ve got it. Your royal highni.’

Meanwhile Kate and William as well as Victoria and Daniel were seen laughing awkwardly at the joke at their expense.

Among those performing at the show were Rick Astley, McFly, BGT winner Viggo Venn and Cher. There was also a celebration of Disney’s centenary and a tribute to theatre impresario Bill Kenwright.
