Eugene Levy opens up about royal protocol during Prince William’s interview regarding questions ‘about Harry and Meghan’

Eugene Levy recently interviewed Prince William during an unusually casual and revealing TV appearance for his show on Apple TV+, The Reluctant Traveller.

Speaking with ITV regarding the experience, the Schitt’s Creek alum was asked about the protocol that was asserted prior to his conversation with the Prince of Wales, if any.

“Were you ever told you couldn’t ask questions, for example, about Harry and Meghan? Did you find that was just something you didn’t want to go near?” the network’s interviewer asked during the discussion which aired October 2.

To which the actor and comedian carefully responded that due to being a “very delicate issue”, he left the subject alone himself.

“I was not told I couldn’t ask anything, but it wasn’t really, you know, up to me, to get into that. I had no interest in asking him about that, because it was, you know, very delicate issue and certainly not up to me to get into it,” Levy replied.

The series’ host further added that instead of the royal drama, he found it better to lead with questions which he thought might be “interesting for him and interesting for the world to hear” in his exchange with the heir apparent.

Notably, the informal interview saw Prince William open up about key topics from his life like never before.

The future king mentioned his parents’ divorce, his father and wife’s health, and even name dropped his brother in the rarest of occurrences while making note of a few “practices in the past” which he recalled that Prince Harry and himself “had to grow up with”.
