Prince Charles meets Tom Odel


Britain’s Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla met Fearne Cotton and Tom Odell today (11.02.14).

The royal couple – who married in 2005 – paid a visit to BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra this morning, where they were given a tour of the studio and introduced to the blonde DJ and the British singer-songwriter.

The pair stopped by Radio 1’s Live Lounge and watched Tom – who has been nominated for a BRIT award this year – rehearsing for his performance, which took place earlier today on the show.

Tom said: "It was a really bizarre morning. He [Prince Charles] was really nice and interested in what we were doing. I performed a bit of ‘Another Love’ for him and he said, ‘Give it some welly!’.

"He was really cool. It was nerve-wracking enough to come and do the famous Radio 1 Live Lounge and then meeting royalty. Amazing!"

The Prince and the Duchess also got to have a go at filming Tom on a PSR4 standard definition camera during his performance, and the footage is set to feature on the BBC website.

Fearne said: "An amazing morning! Something that doesn’t happen every day and Camilla was great on the camera in the Live Lounge!"
