Prince William makes a surprise appearance on the Graham Norton Show in a royal first, days after Harry's GQ reconciliation plea

A PR expert claims the future king's TV chat is a direct response to the Sussex media blitz. The episode airs on BBC One tonight, and in it William reveals his family's love of 'Celebrity Traitors'. It is the first time a member of the Royal Family has sat on Graham Norton's sofa. A source close to William says 'there isn't a world right now' where he can imagine repairing the relationship with his brother.

Harry told GQ: 'Some people don't want it to work out. I want it to work out.'

A Sussex spokesman insisted the remark was 'absolutely not intended as a swipe' at William.

Carole Malone says Harry's interview 'hijacked' the Sultan of Oman's state visit.
