The royal made an appearance on the show back in 2013. Recalling how things almost went very badly wrong, Julia Bradbury, now 48, admitted: “I nearly knocked his thumb off. I nearly hammered his thumb in.” She told The Mirror Prince Charles, 70, had also accidentally “whipped” her across the face with a bramble.

Julia went on to reveal Prince Charles even joked about their mishaps, saying: “Oops, I don’t want to damage expensive BBC property.”
“He’s very funny,” she told the publication. “I was like, ‘It’s fine, your highness.’”
During his special guest appearance on Countryfile, Prince Charles opened up about his love of walking.
“Walking is a terribly important thing for me,” he told Julia. “Rather like some people need a cigarette, I need a walk.
“It’s riveting, by going for a walk I find it stimulates thinking and reflecting.
“So I spend my life stamping around and I have things I write down,” he added. “That’s where the best thoughts come from.”
