Death in Paradise has had several famous faces grace its screens over the last nine seasons, many as cameo’s, taking on minor character roles during an episode as the Detective Inspector and his team try to find out how the victim was killed and who the murderer was. But, did any BBC One viewers spot a member of the royal during an instalment from the very first season of the popular comedy show?
Season nine aired and wrapped up earlier this year, with the tenth confirmed by the channel.
Filming was meant to start later this year, with Ralf Little taking on the lead role of DI Neville Parker following DI Jack Mooney’s (played by Ardal O’Hanlon) departure midway through series nine.
And while getting the role of the main character is no mean feat, the show managed to snap up a royal for their very first series.
Season one, episode five which is titled Spot the Difference sees DI Richard Poole (Ben Miller) at the helm of the police station in Saint Marie.

Much to Richard’s embarrassment, the wrath to the commissioner and the amusement of his team, he was left with a myriad of suspects.
Over time, the case became impossible to solve as unwanted help from an amateur sleuth emerged.
