English heartthrob actor Eddie Redmayne has plenty of achievements under his belt which he can proudly show off.

However, his connection with Duke of Cambridge is the one thing he appears to take great pride as during his school days the numerous rugby games they enjoyed together.

While many may be unaware of this little fact, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them actor attended Eton College, the same school which was also attended by Prince Williams.

He told about his time spent in school with the Duke of Cambridge during a chat in an American pop culture-based late-night talk show Watch What Happens with Andy Cohen.

“I did play rugby with Prince William. I always felt a bit sorry for him because basically any school you played, all they wanted to do was tackle Prince William in order to say, ‘I tackled Prince William.’ So if you were standing next to Prince William like I was, it was actually quite easy and quite fun,” he said.

He further reveals that he hasn’t spoken to the future king Williams since their school days and was also not invited to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding in 2018.
