Prince William's Childhood Dream: From Policeman to DJ On The Graham Norton Show, Prince William shared that as a child, he dreamed of being a policeman or a DJ - ambitions he briefly pursued during royal tours but eventually left behind to focus on his environmental work and the Earthshot Prize. Prince William revealed on The Graham Norton Show that he harbored childhood dreams of becoming a policeman, believing he could excel in the role. He also briefly aspired to be a DJ, a passion he explored during a 2012 royal visit to Australia where he and Kate Middleton tried their hand at spinning decks. While Kate impressed with her scratching skills, William struggled initially before gaining confidence with coaching. Despite his musical interests, the Prince has focused his career on environmental advocacy, notably through the Earthshot Prize, which he launched in 2020 to address climate change and ecological issues.
