Prince William<\/a> is always up for a good challenge, whether it\u2019s competing against Princess Kate in a sailing race<\/a> or joining kids for a game of soccer<\/a> during a royal visit. But on Tuesday, March 17, the Prince of Wales<\/a> gave one DJ the surprise of his life\u2014and called the radio personality’s \u201cbluff\u201d\u2014by hopping on a tandem bike for charity.<\/p>\n

BBC Radio 1 DJ Greg James has met Prince William<\/a> numerous times over the years, most recently interviewing the future King for a panel discussion on men\u2019s mental health<\/a>. James, who is carrying out a grueling bike ride across the entire U.K. to raise money for charity Comic Relief, casually mentioned his challenge to William during their conversation, but admitted that he never thought the prince would actually show up.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat an incredible surprise,\u201d James said after William joined him in Yorkshire on Tuesday. \u201cI’d joked when I recorded a recent radio show with him that he was very welcome to turn up and do a stint on the tandem but I didn’t think he’d actually call my bluff.\u201d<\/p>\n
