Please remember that this thread covers Prince William's current events.

Discussion of Miss Middleton's working options and lack of them is well outside its borders.

Thank you for co-operation

i just want william to be allowed to be happy and live his OWN life (it will not always be that way)
i sincerely hope "the firm" is not putting any pressure on them, we've already seen that play and the last act was tragic! those who don't learn from past mistakes are doomed to repeat them. (forget who said that, but they were smart He seems to be a level headed responsible man, leave him alone and let him make his own decisions, after all he has to live with them.
personally they need to track down these "royal aides" and show them the door they are not helping the situation because i doubt they know anymore of their personal relationship than we do and speculation and manipulation puts more pressure on william and I DON"T LIKE IT, sorry but i love this kid.

Very well said, it's what we all want for our own children, why should William be expected to have anything less.

As none of us knows what Kate does with her life, it might be a little presumptuous to judge her, after all what you do with your life, or what I do in mine, might not be how others would choose to live, but I would hope before being too judgemental we would have all the facts.

YOU GO SKYDRAGON GIRL/LADY!!!!

wonderful!! He seemed very interested in the babies and he seemed to be enjoying himself. I love the picture of him holding that teeny tiny baby...he looks nervous!
I wonder, is he on break form Sandhurst?

 

[corazon]

adorable photos!

william is so sweet visiting the place where he born!

 

[ysbel]

The more William grows up, the more he reminds me of his uncle Prince Andrew. Not so much in looks but in his demeanour and body language.

 

[Royal Fan]

That was soooo nice of him!

Article from HELLO
Prince William had his hands full with two younger fans when he returned to the hospital where he was born this week. The second-in-line was clearly delighted with the experience after a proud mum at St Mary's Hospital in West London offered him the chance to hold her new twin babies.....

William joins the Blues and Royals.

Prince William is following his brother, Prince Harry, into the Household Cavalry's Blues and Royals, Clarence House announced today.
The 24-year-old, who will one day be head of the Armed Forces, will train to be a troop leader in an armoured reconnaissance unit, just like Harry.
He will begin a six-month training course, which his younger sibling is due to finish soon, at Bovington Camp in Dorset after passing out from Sandhurst in December.
Clarence House also outlined plans for crafting second-in-line to the throne William into a future King.
After about a year in the Army, the Prince will spend time with both the RAF and the Royal Navy on "familiarisation attachments".
He will, at this point, carry out public engagements in parallel to his military career and they will become more frequent as he approaches the end of his service.

... and a lot more! Great article.



Good luck, William! It's all downhill from here.

 

[Royal Fan]

Good for him!!!!! Good luck William!

That's right he does resemble Prince Andrew

Sorry if this was already posted. It's a video of William's visit to St. Mary's Paddington. The source is TMZ.com.
He visited the neo-natal wing (Lindo Wing) of St. Mary's Paddington, the London hospital where he was born 24 years ago.

William to join Harry's regiment

LONDON (Reuters) - Prince William will join the Household Cavalry, his younger brother Harry's regiment, if he successfully completes his officer training, a statement from his father's office said on Thursday.

[kpusa1981]

I geuss I was worng about William not wanting to start as 2nd Lt and choosing a different Regiment than Harry. Maybe it is because makes their security costs cheaper while in the Army. Since he has choosen the Armoured Resse will be able to do the Cermonial as well or not? I am sort of suprised that the Army or Regiment allowed him to the Armoured Resse being that he is second in line.

Good luck to him. (although not yet even a commissioned officer)

the picture were he's holding the baby.. its so adorable

I do not mean to be rude... but William's head looks soooo BIG... I guess its the way they took the photo .

I think it's because of his big smile where his mouth is open so wide. I think his better pictures are taken without showing a lot of teeth. Harry has a better mouth for showing the teeth than William's. Then there is the haircut that I think creates an illusion of a much larger head, but then again he MAY have a longer head than rounder.

 

[HRH Kerry]

I just saw the same pic of William holding a baby on Good Morning America. Actually it was tv footage and I must say that he looked marvelous.

I think it's because of his big smile where his mouth is open so wide.

You're right. His mouth was in motion on this picture.

[HRH Kerry]

That's the same footage I saw on Good Morning America. I have to side with the Ministry of Defence on their stance though.

 

[kpusa1981]

Why was this fact announced so much before he finishs Sandhurst whereas with Harry it was just within his last month of training at Sandhurst?

 

[TonyaR]

Why was this fact announced so much before he finishs Sandhurst whereas with Harry it was just within his last month of training at Sandhurst?

That is a little strange. Perhaps they wanted to make his itinerary known to the public well before his passing out of Sandhurst because he will be taking on more public duties?

As a matter of fact, I wonder if Prince William took those vacations this year because he knew the year would end with his public duties and royal appearances being increased?

That's what I would guess. Puts paid to the people who kept calling him lazy.

 

[BeatrixFan]

Well, no it doesn't actually. I still haven't seen any work. I don't call bayoneting hay-filled sacks and visiting one hospital a glittering career or a heavy workload. Then again, he'll never have my approval so he might as well do what he likes!
