Doctor Who producer Russell T. Davies said Prince Charles was a "miserable swine" for turning down a cameo on the show, reports ITN.

Davies said the Prince of Wales was approached to appear on the sci-fi TV drama but declined.

Speaking at the Cheltenham Literature Festival, Davies said: "He turned us down, the miserable swine."

He was asked about the Prince's appearance while talking about his new book Doctor Who: The Writer's Tale.

Davies, 45, recently revealed that he will be stepping down as lead writer and executive producer for the show in 2009.
