You never know where Prince William may pop up!
The Prince of Wales, 43, recently teamed up with English soccer star Jill Scott to film a video for Fields in Trust, a charity dedicated to protecting green spaces such as parks, playgrounds and sports fields.
During their walk in Windlesham Park, their shoot got crashed by a dog that was running off-leash. As seen in a video shared by Fields in Trust on Dec. 21, the playful pup went right up to Prince William as the dog's owner apologized.
Scott assured her, "It's okay, don't worry."
When the dog walker approached, she noticed Prince William and said in shock, "Oh my God."
As the unscripted guests headed off, Prince William chuckled at the encounter as Scott said with a smile, "Bless her."

The Prince of Wales is a known dog lover, and he recently brought their family dog, a cocker spaniel named Orla, for a walk around Windsor Castle with Eugene Levy as they filmed an episode of The Reluctant Traveler. The Schitt's Creek star easily charmed the royal pooch — with some treats he had brought in his pocket.
Besides being a fan of dogs (like most of the British royal family), Prince William likely didn't mind the unexpected encounter, as the dog and dog walker were doing exactly what he was there to promote: spending time outside.
In the video, Prince William and Scott explored Windlesham Field of Remembrance Park as they discussed the important benefits of outdoor spaces.
The soccer star told the royal, "A lot of my childhood was just going to the local park, playing football. Without them green spaces, I probably would never have gone on to play football at any level. They're just so important."
Prince William said, "Having access to fresh air, a bit of peace and quiet, greenery, is so good for our minds and bodies. You need to have that space. You need to have that in as many communities as you can."

The pair then greeted children playing soccer, each picking a team to back.
"We have to beat Jill," William told the green squad before the match.
However, Scott's team was ahead when the final whistle blew, prompting the royal to quip, "We can't stop yet!"
