Sheffield royals fan Leigh Stinchcombe made headlines this week after asking Prince William for a selfie on a trip to the Winter Garden in the Steel City. The Prince of Wales even offered to hold Leigh's drinks cup while he fished his phone out before posing for the picture. Here, Leigh talks about how he didn't really believe William was visiting on March 19 and what it was like to chat with the future king.

00:19 We're talking here today because yesterday you got this pretty exceptional photo with Prince William
00:25 while he was visiting Sheffield. So what happened yesterday? Can you tell us what happened?
00:29 When I got into the Winter Gardens and I sat down and the gentleman came over and shaked my hand.
00:43 I was scared. Somebody told me about it and I said, "That's not right.
00:55 I don't think he will be coming to Sheffield."
01:00 I am not a really famous person.
01:04 Alright. Well, I suppose what was he like?
01:07 He was okay.
01:10 He was okay? He was okay?

01:30 There's apparently this thing they're saying online that the Royal Family previously have taken some
01:36 truck with selfies. They've not normally bothered with them in the past but he was quite ready and
01:40 willing to take one yesterday. How does that feel?
01:43 It was fantastic.
