Never let anyone claim Prince William lacks a sense of humor.
The 34-year-old royal attended the Royal Variety Show, broadcast on Britain's ITV last night, and enthusiastically participated in host Miranda Hart's comedic routines.
After being coaxed by the comedian, William called out her signature phrases, including "such fun!," sparking laughter and applause from Kate Middleton and the crowd.

But that was merely a prelude for the audience and viewers at home…
Later in the evening, following a performance by the cast of the stage adaptation Annie, Hart encouraged the young performers to ask Prince William to demonstrate his galloping—another hallmark from Hart's BBC1 show.
And William happily complied.
Home viewers expressed their amusement at the Duke's playful gesture on Twitter, with one user even hailing him a "legend."

Another wrote: "Prince William doing a gallop on TV has made my night! What a guy!"
Reflecting on the Prince's impromptu act after the event, and referencing his cameo as a stormtrooper in the new Star Wars film, Hart told ITV: "I did apologize to him at the end and he said he'd practice his galloping.
"I thought he was wonderful in joining in. I forgot to get him to knight me with a lightsaber but maybe another time."
Meanwhile, Prince William and Prince Harry recently walked the red carpet for the premiere of Star Wars: The Last Jedi to celebrate their roles in the movie.
