Hollywood legend Gary Oldman has shared the cheeky comment Prince William made while presenting him with a knighthood in a star-studded ceremony at Windsor Castle.

The Oscar-winning actor, 67, was recognized for his services to drama on Wednesday, with the Prince of Wales leading the investiture.

A Royal Quip About “Slow Horses”

During their brief exchange, Oldman revealed that William admitted to being a fan of his hit Apple TV+ series Slow Horses, where he portrays the disheveled spymaster Jackson Lamb.

But the prince couldn’t resist adding a playful jab. “Each time I see you on screen as Lamb,” William joked, “I just want to give you a good wash.”

Oldman, known for his own sharp humor, replied: “Well, I think I’ve scrubbed up OK today.”

In the series, his character runs Slough House, the offbeat department for MI5 agents who have bungled major assignments yet avoided dismissal.
