And the official answer is....
The guest on this week’s That Peter Crouch Podcast is none other than Prince William.
As president of the Football Association, The Duke of Cambridge has been keen to use his role to start conversations around mental health, including helping to rename the 2020 FA Cup final the Heads Up FA Cup final.
“We’re hoping that renaming it is a big enough statement that the UK will show the world, and the football world in particular, that mental health really matters,” William - making his first appearance on a podcast - tells Crouch.
The podcast team met William at Kensington Palace before lockdown - and even shared a curry - before a follow-up Zoom call this month.
During a wide-ranging conversation on BBC Radio 5′s That Peter Crouch Podcast, The Duke of Cambridge revealed that he enjoyed a stag do in Blackpool and that Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen was his favourite karaoke song.
The conversation turned to the worst presents they had bought for their partner. After Crouch confessed to buying his wife, model Abbey Clancy, a raincoat three years running, William said: “I did get my wife a pair of binoculars once - she’s never let me forget that.
”That was early on in the courtship, that was - think that sealed the deal. It didn’t go well. Honestly, I have no idea why I bought her a pair of binoculars, it seemed like a good idea at the time.”

What are among the things a royal worries about during lockdown? Home-schooling and keeping young kids entertained, apparently.
“I found it pretty testing, trying to keep the children engaged and interested in some sort of work,” he says. “It’s been an interesting few months.
"I’ve learned my patience is a lot shorter than I thought it was! That’s probably the biggest eye-opener for me, and my wife has super patience.”
He goes on to admit he’s struggled with year two maths. Comforting.

“They deliberately keep me away from that. When Liverpool won that amazing Champions League semi-final against Barcelona [in May 2019], I grabbed hold of the Twitter thing and just posted.
"It was an amazing match, I was blown away by it. It was one of the best games of football I’ve ever seen. I got completely out of control. I was like: ‘Tweet that! Get it out!’”
And nearly every Villa match we’ve won - which isn’t many this season - I’ve been trying to get hold of it, but they keep it away from me now.“

“I’ve met a lot of players. It’s very interesting, how different sports and different teams behave in a changing room,” William says.
“Whenever I go into the England dressing room there does always feel a lot more pressure. I don’t know what it is, but you notice guys find it much more difficult to relax.
“We talk about physical fitness. We never really talk about mental fitness. We all need to stay mentally fit, none more so than profession athletes who - under special circumstances playing for England under huge pressure - have got to have their heads razor sharp as well as their feet and legs.

“I took George and Charlotte to the Norwich v Villa game at Carrow Road. We tried to slip in quietly, but the cameras picked us up. Best game of Villa’s season! It ended 5-1.“
There's another view of the royal takeout feast also . It was not on a coffee table, but a regular one. Somehow that disappoints me.
