AsThe Sunreported, Prince William had his own awkward dance experience in 2018 and it was caught on camera.

He and his then-pregnant wife, Kate Middleton, were visiting Coventry.

They attended the opening of a new training center fornurses, midwives, and paramedics during their visit.

Things got a little awkward when the couple took part in a communications training session with the training paramedics.

At one point, the paramedics all started doing a bizarre wiggle dance as part of a training game.

He laughed uncomfortably before trying half-heartedly to join in.

We have to admit it was a valiant attempt.

Nevertheless, it was super awkward to watch!

In 2020, William and his family visited the London Palladium to see a performance ofPantoland.

This is definitely something any parent can relate to.

It sounds like William had a seriously awkward conversation with his son after this performance!

In 2018, Emma Thompson was honored with a Damehood.

William was responsible for bestowing the honor by placing a medal on the actress' lapel.

As Thompson explainedThe Ellen DeGeneres Show, the ceremony didn’t exactly go to plan.

“You get two badges,” she explained.

Oops, sounds like William chose the wrong place to pin that badge!

Thompson confessed, “I made a very loud and inappropriate noise in Buckingham Palace.”

Luckily, Thompson was pretty good-humored about the incident.

Nevertheless, we’re sure William was mortified when he realized what he’d done!

In 2020, Harry and Meghan attended their last official royal event.

There’s no doubt about it it was an incredibly awkward moment.

In fact, the person sitting next to Meghan even jumped in to cover up some of the awkwardness!

ForPrince William and Kate Middleton, this rarely happens.

Kate, however, immediately jerked her arm away from William.

It was a brief moment, but still, the shrug-off is undeniable!

InStyleeven spoke to a body language expert, Patti Wood, about the awkward moment.

Either way, it was definitely a seriously awkward moment!

This is exactly what happened to Prince William in 2018 at the Anzac Day service.

Unfortunately for William, the whole thing was caught on video and posted by5 News.

We have to admit it’s pretty funny to watch!

For the most part, the public cut the prince some slack.

AsPeoplejokingly commented on Twitter, “Life with a newborn baby.”

Some Twitter users were keen to stand up for the sleepy prince.

Onewrote, “Who cares?

Leave the poor guy alone.

He has a new baby and two young children.

I’m surprised he wasn’t sound asleep and snoring!”

It turns out, even Prince William isn’t immune to the temptations of fried chicken.

In 2020, the prince was caught ogling a KFC window, sending the internet into uproar.

It’s true the funny picture presents the opportunity for endless puns and jokes!

We bet William will be a little more careful about eyeing up fast food in the future.

In 2020, Prince William and Kate Middleton attended the BAFTA awards.

The cameras cut to William and Kate in the audience, both with strained smiles painted on their faces.

Apparently, the royal couple weren’t particularly pleased.

In yet another awkward moment, William was caught on camera high-fiving the rapper Tinie Tempah.

Could it be that the royals don’t know how to high five?

We don’t know either way, it was super awkward.

Tinie Tempah spoke to theBBCabout the moment afterward.

He explained that the decision to high-five the prince had come to him in the moment.

It “felt great,” he said.

Even so, on some occasions, we think he may be trying just a little too hard.

Needless to say, the performance could not be more awkward.

He then gives it his all for the chorus, looking pretty pained by the whole experience.

After all, the song has some pretty high notes!

However, their relationship wasn’t always smooth sailing.

In fact, the couple actually broke up briefly a few years before in 2007 (viaUs Weekly).

That is, until one reporter accidentally asked him “how things were going” with Kate.

Luckily for us, his response was captured onvideo.

Harry then laughed and said, “Very well avoided, William.”

After successfully avoiding talking about Kate, William added, “Very diplomatic.”

Yikes, it is so awkward watching William trying to dodge the reporter’s question!

We certainly do not envy him.

Now, for most of us, this would probably never happen.

Colman told fans the whole story onThe Graham Norton Show(viaHello!).

Apparently, she met the prince at a reception at the Palace.

As she put it, “It didn’t go very well.”

Sounds like William was keeping up to speed on the Netflix show!

Colman then explained that she got excited and asked if William had seen the show.

“His answer was a firm, ‘No,'” she recalled.

Of course, Colman was quick to add that the Prince was “very charming and very lovely.”

Sounds like he handled the awkward moment with grace on this occasion!

Prince William made one such joke in 2020 unfortunately, he picked a pretty awkward moment.

Back then, the virus was just beginning to become a widespread, global issue.

In a video, the prince is shown making a joke that many would say was in poor taste.

Is it being hyped up, do you think, in the media?"

In fact,TMZcould not stop talking about it!

And it’s easy to see why.

Of course, maybe we should be easier on him.

It’s just a shame that his moves are so undeniably lame.

It’s a great effort, but still, super awkward to watch.
