Ant and Dec's warning from Prince Charles' footman exposed as duo tried to steal bauble

“We were shown into the main hall and Rod Stewart was there so we headed over to say ‘hi’ to him… while keeping our eyes peeled for potential souvenirs.

“We’d heard a lot of stories about people liberating a memento when they go there.”

Ant explained: “’Liberating a memento’ means nicking something – an ashtray, a toilet roll with a coat of arms, a full suit of armour, that kind of thing.

“And what struck us when we arrived was that there really wasn’t that much there to nick, I mean liberate, either because they’ve got wise to the memento liberation brigade or because, if it’s not nailed down, it’s already been pinched by some opportunistic celebrity.”
