Duke and Duchess of Cambridge try to get Game of Thrones spoilers out of actor

Being a member of the Royal family comes with considerable perks. 

But if the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge hoped their status might help them uncover one of the best-kept secrets in television, it appears they were sorely mistaken.

The Royal couple on Thursday night begged stars of one of their favourite shows, Game of Thrones, to tell them what happens next. Needless to say, they were left disappointed.

The Duke and Duchess spoke to German actor Tom Wlaschiha, who plays Jaqen H’ghar in the cult show, at an event in Berlin  on Thursday night .

“They said they really liked Game of Thrones and have watched every series”, said Wlaschiha.

“They wanted spoilers, but I said I couldn’t tell them. I’m surprised they have time to watch such a long running series.”

The Duke and Duchess revealed they are Game of Thrones viewers back in April, when they told Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills that they loved watching box sets of the show and getting a takeaway curry.

The Royal couple also chatted to British actor Sam Riley, who lives in Berlin and said they were ‘very charming.’

German actress Jana Pallaske, who starred in Inglourious Basterds, said: “Kate told me she was really liking Berlin. I think they like the vibe here.

"It’s wonderful to see someone who carries themselves with so much grace. She is so regal. That is my goal.”

The actors were among guests in the vintage mirrored hall of Berlin’s historic Clärchens Ballhaus, one of Berlin’s last remaining ballrooms, which hosted the British Council reception for exciting new names in the city’s art, culture, style, fashion and technology scene.

The Duchess wore a bird-print dress by German designer Markus Lupfer, teamed with a gold belt and sandals.

The ballroom’s guest relations manager Nils Juergens showed William and Kate around the venue, which opened in 1913 and still offers dancing lessons, as well as being a bar, restaurant and nightclub.

“Kate was joking that William should come here for dancing lessons and they both laughed,” said Juergens. “I told them about the club scene here and William said he would like to try it out.

“He also said he liked my shoes. I had been a nervous wreck before they got here but that really broke the ice and put me at my ease. They were very nice and very natural.”

On Friday, the Duke and Duchess will visit Hamburg, spending time at its new concert hall and visiting Airbus before flying home in the early evening.
