Default Prince William's Style
Just curious, is Prince William addressed as "His Royal Highness"? I believe the custom is to begin addressing Royal Highnesses in this way when they turn 21, but I notice on the British Monarchy's Web site, that nowhere is William referred to in this way. What's up?

Officially he is titled "His Royal Highness" but he and Harry don't like it when people address them by that so that may be the reason why its not on the official site.

So what do you call them if you were being addressed by them?

They like to be called William and Harry. Though you can still use the title its just that they perfer not to be called that since they want to be as normal as possible. But when you meet them for the first time I think you have to address them by their title and then I pressume that they will tell you not to call them your highness. Just my thought on the subject matter.

Ooops, when I first read about this thread, I thought it was about William's STYLE, as in fashion!:o Cool thread though!
Anyways, I have a question.How come he is not adressed to as CROWN prince William? He IS going to inherit the throne--eventually!

1. the heir of the British throne isn't called Crown Prince, when his royal parent gets the throne, the first born receives the title of Duke of Cornwall and the title of Prince of Wales when the sovereign decides to style him as that.
2. the heir of the throne is right now Prince Charles, so his son cannot be styled as Prince of Wales, right now William is "just" Prince of Great Britain and Northern Ireland; it's like you call Catarina-Amalia the Princess of Orange when her dad is the rightfull heir to the dutch throne

Am I right or anyone has a different opinion?

Default What do they drink?
I would like to know what sorts of drinks Wills and Harry like when they go out. I've heard William likes a drink, "White..." something,White Russian?
Harry likes Smirnoff Ice and I've also seen him having a Red Bull mix,Red Bull and I-forgot-what-type-of-liquor.Does anyone know more about this?
Thanks.

well Red Bull is most normally mixed with vodka, if I'm correct, so if Harry is drinking Red Bull and anything it would prolly be vodka. I find it amusing that they like those drinks if they do, as both are considered to be fairly girly drinks where I am in the states.

Red bull and vodka is good. Vodka is my fav. liquor. Yeah, smirnoff ice's are a girly drink, according to some, but they are good. Too good, if you ask me, as I can quite easily drink a six-pack of them in one night and feel pretty good.
:p
But I think when Harry used to drink those he was 18,19, probably younger, so maybe he was just starting out and not into the hard stuff quite yet.

Harry likes beer beer and more beer, at this rate he'll own part of SAB Miller in a couple of years (with Chelsy not so far behind him)

There are actually a lot of popular drinks that use red bull, not just red bull and vodka. A good one is a yager bomb.
