Brinsley Forde has been the first to hear about Princess Charlotte, with Prince William telling the reggae star, “She’s fine, she’s good.”
The Duke of Cambridge spoke to Forde at Windsor Castle about his daughter while awarding him with an MBE on Tuesday.
Fatherhood was the top of discussion between the two, with Forde telling People he “congratulated [Prince William] on Charlotte and we spent a little time talking, as my son Jermaine’s about to have a little one. So he congratulated me too.”
The second-in-line to the throne also revealed his musical talents to the reggae star, telling Forde he’s “handy on the bass.”
“So you never know – we may have him playing bass soon,” Forde told People of his band, Aswad.
This is the second time Prince William has made a public appearance since the birth of Princess Charlotte.
The Duke of Cambridge was in Switzerland on Monday to attend a meeting for the United for Wildlife movement, which he co-founded with his wife, the Duchess, and Prince Harry.
The Duchess of Cambridge remains at the royal country residence, Anmer Hall, where Prince William is expected to return.
