Prince Charles, pictured as an undergraduate at Trinity College places a crown on the 1969 Cambridge University Rag Queen
A young Prince Charles joked about ‘going gay’ to avoid the pressure of finding a suitable Royal bride before his marriage to Diana.
The heir apparent’s quip was made as a student at Trinity College Cambridge, according to a new TV series on the Queen’s children.
Presented by Jeremy Paxman, it includes recollections by Broderick Munro-Wilson, a friend of Charles who was with him at Cambridge.
He recalls a newspaper article featuring several ‘potential brides’ for the bachelor Prince that prompted Charles to crack the joke.
Mr Munro-Wilson says: ‘We were all reading it together and I thought, poor sod, I’m not sure I’d go for any of those. He said to me, “Brod, shall I go gay?” That is a fact. We all roared with laughter and moved on. I think the market was so narrow… and of course she had to be a virgin.’
When responding to a remark that there were few around, Munro-Wilson said: ‘There were probably none, and I think it was a tricky one for him.’
Paxman himself started at Cambridge when Charles began his third year. ‘You certainly never saw him in the pub,’ says the presenter.
Mr Munro-Wilson says only a select few were allowed to fraternise with Charles. ‘You wouldn’t just walk over and chat to him, people were much more respectful in those days,’ he says.
‘When one talks about being a friend, Rab [Lord] Butler, who was Master of Trinity at the time, really decided there were about two dozen guys that were suitable for him to mix with. You had to be on the list.’
Asked how fellow students felt about Charles being admitted to Cambridge with ‘indifferent’ A-levels, he says: ‘I don’t think anybody cared a monkey’s. Nobody would have dared to. I think people felt, look this guy is going to be the King of England and he certainly worked hard.
The show, which will be broadcast on Channel 5 on Tuesday, is presented by Jeremy Paxman
‘He went to his lectures, he was beavering around, he wasn’t a total party boy.’
In the second episode of the Channel 5 documentary, Paxman recalls a lunch at Kensington Palace with Princess Diana.
As Paxman was leaving, he remarked how silent the Palace was in contrast to the bustle of Kensington High Street – likening it to a prison.
Diana replied: ‘No, more like an upmarket Coronation Street – you can see all the curtains twitching.’
- Paxman On The Queen’s Children will be shown on Channel 5 on Tuesday at 9pm.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
