Ant and Dec Recall Noisy Sleepover at King Charles’s Dumfries House

The presenters shared the story on The Graham Norton Show during promotion for their new podcast.

Overview

  • Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly said they were invited to stay at Dumfries House before a final interview after following the then‑Prince of Wales for a year for a TV programme.
  • McPartlin recounted bumping into Charles in a corridor while wearing a room robe, prompting an awkward chat about pruning roses.
  • The duo said they drank wine in their room, became too loud, and were asked to keep the noise down by staff.
  • They used the appearance to discuss their new podcast, Hanging Out With Ant & Dec, describing it as a way to connect despite busy family lives.
  • An early podcast promo was deleted after criticism that it appeared insensitive to suicide, with representatives apologizing and removing the video.
