David Walliams recently appeared on The Jonathan Ross Show, where he talked about his new book, “The Beast of Buckingham Palace.” Walliams, known for his successful children’s books, mentioned that this one is set in the future, which is different from his previous works. The book takes place in and around Buckingham Palace and features a supernatural element, a first for Walliams. The author, who has released over 20 books, expressed his desire to challenge himself and avoid repeating his themes.
During the interview, Walliams shared his experiences of visiting Buckingham Palace many times. While he admitted to only seeing bits of it, he fondly recalled his interactions with notable personalities like Gary Barlow, Robbie Williams, and even the Queen herself. Walliams humorously mentioned an incident with Prince Philip, where the Duke mistook him for Jonathan Ross.
Walliams also touched on his charity work, stating that he often participates in charity events and was even awarded an OBE for his efforts. He reminisced about the last time he visited Buckingham Palace, which happened to be the same day he received his OBE. He recalled attending a charity event for the Variety Club and having the opportunity to meet various people. Despite not being able to ask the Queen a question during their encounter, Walliams was honored to have met her.
In a separate incident, Walliams shared his amusing encounter with Prince Philip, where the Duke humorously questioned his presence alongside Lenny Henry and Rod Stewart. Walliams and his mother were attending the event to represent Comic Relief, and Prince Philip jokingly commented on Lenny Henry‘s absence from the television screen.
