Even the Prince of Wales loves a good old dad joke it seems. Prince William visited Bristol University last week, where he undertook engagements relating to sustainability and future technologies - and parted ways with a "royal dad joke". 

As part of his visit, he stopped by to see the UK's most powerful supercomputer and was gifted LEGO figures for his three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

"We were really delighted to give Prince William three little Lego models of Isambard Kingdom Brunel to take back home to his children," Evelyn Welch, Vice-Chancellor and President at the University of Bristol said in an Instagram video, referring to engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

"And he left saying that he knew where to come when George needed help with his homework!" One person commented that William had made a "royal dad joke".
