Speaking about welcoming the royal to the show, presenter Jay Blades said: "You’ve got someone from a council estate and someone from a Royal estate that have the same interests about apprenticeships and heritage crafts and it is unbelievable to see that two people from so far apart, from different ends of the spectrum, actually have the same interests."

BBC’s Commissioning Editor Julie Shaw added: "This is an incredibly special programme which has the magic that Repair Shop viewers have come to know and love.
"People will see the former Prince of Wales as you rarely see him – and he is as captivated by the skills of the team who work on his items as any of our Repair Shop visitors. The episode is a real treat and we hope that people enjoy it as much as we do."
