00:06 Hold it up for us.
00:07 [CHUCKLES]
00:10 It's a smashing picture.
00:11 That's great.
00:12 Yes.
00:14 One more time.
00:15 Would you say your name for camera, please?
00:16 My name is Lee Andrew Stinsco.
00:19 We're talking here today because yesterday you
00:21 got this pretty exceptional photo with Prince William
00:25 while he was visiting Sheffield.
00:27 So what happened yesterday?
00:28 Can you tell us what happened?
00:29 When I got into the Winter Gardens and I sat down
00:37 and the gentleman came over and shaked my hand, I was scared.
00:46 Somebody told me about it.
00:49 And I said, that's not right.
00:55 I think he will be coming to Sheffield.
01:00 I am not a really famous person.
01:04 All right.
01:05 Well, I suppose what was he like?
01:08 He was OK.
01:10 He was OK?
01:10 He was OK?
01:12 He was OK, yeah.
01:13 He was OK.
01:14 All right.
01:15 He was very, very, very nice to me.
01:18 I already put it on TikTok.
01:23 And I have got a lot of people liking it, liking the picture.
01:30 There's apparently this thing they're saying online
01:33 that the Royal Family previously have taken some
01:36 truck with selfies.
01:37 They've not normally bothered with them in the past.
01:39 But he was quite ready and willing to take one yesterday.
01:42 How does that feel?
01:43 It feels fantastic.
