Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, meets the cast of The Hobbit 

yes it is

That's the British Royal Family for you, bunch of weirdos doing weird stuff to pretend they have a purpose to be called "highness" and be worshiped and given vast fortunes by the British taxpayer along with their enormous extended family. They aren't even British, the monarchy changed their family name around WW1 from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor. They are Hanovarian Germans pretending to be somehow pure blood English nobility, and everyone in Britain just buys it and worships them because it gives their lives some make-believe notion of being more exotic. Don't worry though, Lord Digby Jones has told us we should spend £100 million on a new yacht for the royal family to boost our morale. Yeah, buying the royal family another new £100million yacht is what we need. Not, you know, a government that isn't utterly corrupt and incompetent, a massive wealth gap and criminal under-funding of vital public services.

@@AD-kv9kj I do not know you but I like you. Best comment on this so far.

Yes, in their culture that is a royal family member, not your buddies at the pub, so doing formal events like this can often be looked at as weird when you compare it to trivial everyday social encounters

All props to prince William making conversation to everyone. He seemed to enjoy it. Bet he loved the movie. For all you Yanks: it’s just like your President having to meet and greet ok?

Hahaha true I totally agree 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Where is Lee Pace? T.T kkkkk

If lee pace was there he'd be like 'Finally someone i can look up to'

The king and the prince :-)

Is he actually taller than Richard Armitage? That must be pretty unusual. RA seemed excited though.

Aidan Turner has my vote!!

Turner looks more like James Bond. Armitage's eyes are too beady and he has zero body hair. Turner has a bit of a young Sean Connery about him along with the more masculine hairy arms and chest. I also find Turner has a bit more screen presence and his acting is more engaging. Armitage is actually kind of bland on screen.

Make it happen please PLEASE 🙏

Very majestic as always

You are quite right. And he is the only one who made a head bow when greeting Prince William. He is very well brought up. And he looks incredible in a tux.

TillaTequila72 some of the other actors bowed their heads, though

I swear Aidan Turner and Dean O'Gorman must of been dizzy by the time the Prince got to them they were swaying so hard with giddiness! Those 2 made this a whole lot more enjoyable 😄

He always looks dashing in my opinion :)

Yeah I agree, he always looks the same in interviews, no matter who he's talking too. Very admirable!

So is Richard Armitage, the Prince is only about an inch taller than him. Both are over six feet.

Please don't be me at mad

+Kili daHobbit I love watching him show off his Tolkien geekdom

mr. kili giggle oakenshield why would I be mad at you? :/

I wanted to see some guy present the Prince, only for Richard to say: "prince? I am the rightful king under the mountain!" or soething like that.:P

Lee would be taller than William.

❤️Thanks for your utmost love and support you have consistently been showing me. I can’t appreciate the unconditional I’ve gotten from you, which has inspired me to give more sensational entertainment. I’m forever grateful. What country are you watching from?

Also his charming personality. He is so kind to everyone.

Indeed thx for the infomation I didn t notice at first. they do have exactly the same nose

I've never seen Peter look so dapper. And compared to Prince William, height-wise, he IS a Hobbit! Fran Walsh looks beautiful, it's so rare for her to make any form of public appearance. I wonder if that was Peter's son he shook hands with before he shook hands with Katie....Sylvester still dresses like he would be playing the Doctor....what the heck can be said about Richard that hasn't already been said God only knows how many times, Jimmy just looks like Jimmy....Aidan looks delectable, his girlfriend Sarah looks gorgeous, Deano's girlfriend looks a bit flashy, Adam and Peter...very dapper....I don't think John can dress without some sort of flare of color, I'm surprised Mark behaved himself, Jed's just flipping awesome, that almost looks like Jimmy's younger daughter behind Stephen, and just look at Martin and Amanda....

I have never seen pictures of Richard Armitage's father but from this video he resembles his mother.

Fortunately 😅

I know, it was so cute!

:D

ginatasi chaffin He looks a little nervous , awwwww bless xx

Kym O'Driscoll I think if you look closely, the Lady behind Richard might be his mum💜

Think its the camera angle ..since the cameraman is behind prince William...he looks taller ...Richard Armitage is almost of same height..6'2"/6'3"...not much of a difference, sometimes even a hairstyle can make one look 2" taller!

debby Prince William is 6’4”.

@@gracewalker4570 It IS his mum.. she must have been SOO proud.. really happy that she got to see him reach such a dizzying height in his career before she passed away.. that must be lovely for him to think of.

@@martinen.5025 She couldn’t have seen him looking more handsome and well dressed than he is now. I wasn’t a fan of the character, Thorin, not even in the book. I thought Mr. Armitage did an excellent job of bringing Thorin to life because I disliked Thorin even more!

Me too...☺

Me too! I was just wishing I knew how to lip-read

He did an interview with Yasmin Vought and told her about meeting Prince William. You can read it here: new.thefix.ninemsn.com.au/2015/02/12/12/59/richard-armitage-i-told-prince-william-hed-make-a-good-elf-in-the-hobbit
