Prince William Diplomatically Avoids Taking Sides on I’m a Celebrity, Get me out of here!

Prince William, the Prince of Wales, visited RAF Conningsby's new boxing club in Lincolnshire on Friday afternoon.

While there, he found himself hugged, posing for selfies, and even grilled about who he wanted to win the ITV hit show I'm a Celebrity, Get me out of here!

Mike Tindall, a former rugby player, is married to Zara Tindall, a cousin of William's, while the Prince is also known to have a close bond with fellow contestant Jill Scott, an England Lioness.

During his visit, he opened their new boxing club, where he met RAF personnel involved in the sport and chatted with Corporal Rachel Howes.

Howes, who plays in Conningsby's women's team, put the Prince on the spot about the reality show I'm a Celebrity, Get me out of here!

She asked him who he wanted to win, Lioness Jill Scott or his relative Mike Tindall.

The Prince diplomatically smiled and was overheard saying, “Hmm, that's a tricky one,” but did not pick a winner.

Earlier this month, it was suggested that the Prince and Princess of Wales would likely be very upset and sad over the former rugby player's behavior in the jungle.

Royal author Angela Levine accused Princess Andrew's son-in-law of demeaning the family by appearing in the popular ITV reality show.

However, the former rugby star has won over fans since joining the jungle by giving an honest insight into his marriage and surprise rapping skills.

He admitted that he and his wife Zara had a boozy first date in 2003 during which they got smashed, something the expert argued wasn't anybody's business but their own.

Angela speculated that the father might have been bored or simply wanted to have some fun in order to sign up for the series as a rugby professional.

During Friday's visit, the Prince of Wales was more open to others, promising a young boy that his picture would go on the royal fridge.

The Prince chatted with a group of military families from the base, and three-year-old Blake Fernley presented him with a picture of Mickey Mouse.

His mother Laura Fernley, 33, said the royal took it and said he would put it on his fridge.

Mrs. Fernley said about her son, “He walked off, and then Blake decided he wanted to ask William for a cuddle so he followed him and said, ‘please William, may I have a cuddle?'

And he did.”

William found himself talking football with twins Abbey and Steph Boland, who were left ecstatic when he posed for a video selfie with the ten-year-olds, fans of the Prince's beloved Aston Villa team.

Steph Boland said, “He said we've got a good team and we'll have it next season.”

Prince William visited the base in his role as Honorary Air Commandant of RAF Conningsby.

He had experienced the future when he put on a set of virtual reality goggles intended to enhance fighter jet maintenance.

The Prince was shown a variety of cutting-edge products that are now in development to assist engineers at RAF Conningsby in keeping the planes airworthy.

William engaged in conversation with RAF technicians and their BAE systems counterparts in a sizeable hangar used to maintain Typhoon jets deployed by two squadrons stationed at Conningsby.

He chuckled as he declined to put on an exoskeleton that can assist ground staff with tedious and time-consuming activities, but put on the goggles.

He prodded a damaged cylindrical thing in cyberspace that represented a replica fuselage piece and observed, “It's weird,” before adding, “very clever.”

The Prince also learned about Project Marshall, a multi-billion-dollar equipment upgrade effort to improve the RAF's air traffic services throughout Lincolnshire, while touring the base's Air Traffic Control Centre.
