Prince William was filmed apologising to a lecturer regarding her student's lateness during an engagement on Thursday.
The Prince of Wales visited Ulster University in Northern Ireland yesterday.
The engagement fell on King Charles's 76th birthday but members of the Royal Family chose to treat it like a normal working day.
Student Samantha Johnson asked the Prince of Wales to explain to her lecturer, Leslie, on camera why she would be late.

After confirming that Samantha was recording the video, William said: "Leslie, I'm very sorry we're late but they seem to be caught up and they wouldn't believe that you were here so just saying 'Hi'."
The video has been going viral on social media platforms, with the Prince of Wales being praised for his down-to-earth approach to the request.
William undertook two key engagements focused on tackling youth homelessness and supporting the creative industries sector during his time in Northern Ireland.
Prince William's first stop was The Foyer, a temporary accommodation service operated by Simon Community, where he discussed initiatives to prevent homelessness among young people leaving care.

He later toured Ulster University's creative facilities, exploring their virtual production capabilities and learning about plans for the £72m Studio Ulster project.
The Homewards programme, which Prince William champions through The Royal Foundation, aims to tackle this pressing issue by developing innovative housing solutions.
Earlier on Thursday, the Prince and Princess of Wales sent a birthday message to the monarch on social media.
During his time in Northern Ireland, William rekindled his former motorcycling passion, albeit in virtual form.

The Prince of Wales, 42, took to a stationary motorbike at Ulster University's Virtual Production Studio in Belfast, where he experienced a simulated ride through what appeared to be the Arizona desert.
"Any excuse to get on a motorbike!" the future king remarked enthusiastically.
Clearly impressed by the technology, William asked if the bike could be moved from its fixed position.
"I love that exhaust," he commented as he dismounted, praising the experience as "incredibly realistic."
