Prince William to Join Lions Tour in New Zealand in July 2005 (Monday, 16 May 2005)


Prince William has been invited by the British and Irish Lions rugby team to join them on their tour to New Zealand in July 2005.

While he is there, the Prince will also undertake two official engagements representing Her Majesty The Queen in Wellington and Auckland at events to commemorate the end of the Second World War.

The invitation to support the Lions came from Sir Clive Woodward, Head Coach of the touring party, and is for the Prince to spend time with them in the build-up to the second and third Tests against New Zealand, and attend both games.


Sir Clive said: "I am delighted that Prince William will be spending some time with us. It will be a great boost for the team as he is a great supporter of the game. He is going to be with the team for certain periods and it all adds to the sense of occasion around these key Tests."

Prince William, who is currently studying for his final examinations at St Andrew's University, will join the Lions squad for the second and third Test matches in Wellington and Auckland, at the beginning of July.

It's Just William on tour


By DUNCAN LARCOMBE
Royal Reporter

RUGBY-MAD Prince William makes his first solo royal engagement next month on the British Lions tour of New Zealand.

The Prince will celebrate the end of his university exams with the Lions after manager Sir Clive Woodward invited him as a birthday present.

Wills — 23 next month — may even join players at training sessions.

But he will also represent the Queen at events marking the end of World War Two.

A Lions spokesman said: “Sir Clive has his eyes on a hands-on role for William. He is delighted and wants to get his hands dirty.”

The Prince will jet out hours after graduating from St Andrews University on June 21.

He will arrive in New Zealand for the second test against the All Blacks on July 2 and final match on July 9.

The Prince will meet the Lions team, made up of Britain’s top union players, including Jonny Wilkinson.

Brother Prince Harry, 20, will be green with envy because he cannot take time off from his gruelling military course at Sandhurst. A source said: “Watching his rugby heroes play is the perfect way to recover from exam hell. It’s kept William going through his revision.

“But Harry is probably the bigger rugby fan and is so sensitive about it that Wills has agreed not to mention the tour in front of him.”

Wills will not take girlfriend Kate Middleton but could be joined by a male pal. Sir Clive said William will be a “great boost” for his team. The Prince’s spokesman said: “William is really looking forward to going to New Zealand.”

William to join Lions rugby tour

Prince William will perform his first solo engagements

Prince William will join the Lions rugby team on their summer tour of New Zealand, it has been announced.

He will spend time with the players while they train in July before watching their second and third test matches against the All Blacks.

The prince, 22, will perform his first solo engagements representing the Queen on the trip after leaving university.

He will mark the anniversary of the end of World War II at ceremonies in Wellington and Auckland.

William, who is studying for his geography finals at St Andrews University, was invited to support the British and Irish Lions by coach Sir Clive Woodward, Clarence House said.

'Great boost'

He will join World Cup winning heroes including Jonny Wilkinson and Laurence Dallaglio.

Mike Tindall, the boyfriend of the prince's cousin Zara Phillips, is a doubt for the tour because of injury.

William has indicated that he is absolutely delighted to be joining us and that he wants to get his hands dirty


British Lions



Sir Clive said he was "delighted" the prince would be spending time with the team.

"It will be a great boost for the team as he is a great supporter of the game," he said.

"He is going to be with the team for certain periods and it all adds to the sense of occasion around these key tests."

A spokeswoman for the Lions said Sir Clive had a "hands-on role" planned for William.

"William has indicated that he is absolutely delighted to be joining us and that he wants to get his hands dirty," he said.

"He could be involved in training, setting up - all manner of things."

Series of firsts

The prince's spokesman Paddy Harverson said William was "a big fan" of rugby and was "really looking forward" to the tour. "He's proud to be representing the Queen at events to mark the end of World War II," he added. The prince's appearance at memorial services to commemorate the end of the war will represent his first ever solo engagements, his first official representations of the Queen and his first engagements abroad. He will not be accompanied by girlfriend Kate Middleton.

i got news from Sundaymail.co.uk about Prince William will have golf record and include his Uncle Prince Andrew,Duke of York if you read that articles about that and also pictures too if have? check it out!

PRINCE TO SWING IN FOR GOLF RECORD


PRINCE William is set to take on two former football stars in a bid for a golfing record.
Bosses at St Andrews Bay Golf Resort want to sign up Wills and his uncle Prince Andrew to help them claim the record for the most players in a medal event in one day.

But ex-Old Firm players Arthur Numan and Tom Boyd will be helping a bid to nick the record at Bellshill Golf Club in Lanarkshire.

St Andrews are confident of winning the 22-year-old prince's support, as he regularly plays the Fife course.

The record bid - set to raise £40,000 for Scottish charities - takes place on June 18, just days before he is due to graduate from the town's university.

St Andrews set the current record two years ago when 491 players took part, with Olympic hero Sir Steve Redgrave sinking the final putt.

Bellshill Golf Club's attempt on the record will see 500 people descend on the course.

A spokesman for the St Andrews event said: 'We hope William and the Duke of York will be able to help, as their support would encourage the numbers we need.'

The St Andrews contest will see attempts on at least 12 golfing records, including longest golf shot caught, longest putt and longest drive
