Prince William Spends Day With Press
Sun Dec 14, 7:09 PM ET
LONDON - Buying stamps, chocolate and some light reading at a local shop, Prince William allowed the media a glimpse into his life as a college student at Scotland's St. Andrews University.
As part of an agreement with the British press to provide information on William once every term in exchange for privacy while he completes his studies, royal officials invited a reporter and photographers from the national Press Association news agency to follow him on Friday.
The photos, released Monday, show William shopping for sweets and magazines and showing off his golfing skills in the seaside university town northeast of Edinburgh.
The prince, who is in the third year of a four-year degree course at Scotland's oldest university, said he was glad he had changed his major field of study from art history to geography.
"It's going very well. It's my third year and it's a bit more work," he told the Press Association. "I'm studying all sorts of human and physical environments and really enjoying it, but I'm looking forward to my Christmas holidays."
William said he had yet to complete his Christmas shopping, but wanted to get something special for his younger brother, Prince Harry, who has spent the last few months in Australia.
"I'm still finding them. Last minute is what I do," he said.
William picked up some college fare at the local convenience store, paying for his stamps, milk, potato chips, candy and two magazines with his own money.
As the shop's clerk rang up the pile of items, William joked, "I'm stocking up for winter."
The prince also went to a driving range near St. Andrews' historic Old Course.
Concentrating hard, he hit the golf balls about 150 yards.
On his last shot, he performed a running hit, standing 4 feet from the ball before moving in to strike it with a seven iron.
"Tiger Woods, eat your heart out," William said, laughing.
