Yes, it seems very sad that people are unable to give them credit for just being themselves or to all the people that have had an influence on the upbringing of these young men.

 

[Royal Fan]

Glad you see what im trying to say . Its almost like they have given Diana a greater status than the rest The Monarchy is an Institution not a person (Im a great fan of hers to by the way) hope that makes sense Thanks in Advance for any replys

So true...I agree. It's almost like one can't be a good person without being religious. In other words, I don't kill because of who I am...not because of a commandment. William looked genuine and concerned and the recent interview with the three princes was wonderful as it showed a loving family.

Are naked footballers offensive?

England's World Cup preparations took a puzzling turn this week with the news that Prince William has been barred from the team's dressing room in Germany.

He's really losing his hair fast. That puff of blonde up top just doesn't cover up the waiting bald spot. I still adore him though.

 

[Incas]

I'm surprised by how much his hair has grown out. Since he is still in training, I'd thought he would be expected to keep to crew cuts for some time.

Article from HELLO
Prince William is better known for his understated charm than his dancing skills, but all that may change after he got a lesson in fancy footwork from one of the England football team's most flamboyant players. The second in line was left in fits of laughter on Thursday when striker Peter Crouch gave him a demonstration of the robot dance he performed after scoring against Hungary earlier in the week.......................

He attended the game and then a reception. I haven't seen any photos yet.

The young royal will travel in a motorcade to the stadium where he will watch the match before heading off for an official welcome reception thrown by Hesse federal state president Roland Koch at the riding complex of Germany's Olympic dressage champion Ann-Kathrin Linsenhoff in ronberg, north of Frankfurt.

Also..

I love that the queen wrote a letter of good luck to England's team that William was suppose to pass on to them. That is so cute.

I dont know, if anyone here has the same feel, but I loved William with longer hair. Short hair make him look so... strange.
Someone here, who agree with me?

England won 1-0

but, to talk more on world cup, there's a special thread : http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums/f64/world-cup-2006-a-7950-10.html

 

[regardez]

I think his bald spot doesn't look as bad when his hair is shorter. When it is longer, I think it is more noticable. Or maybe it's just these pictures where it doesn't look too bad? Either way, I think people have been exaggerating it.

Is there a picture of what he wrote in the guestbook?

Congrats to England.

 

[marezdote]

During the game the commentaters were talking about how Wills had started lauging when Crouch showed Wills his "robo dance" at a practice last week. Unfortunatly they only showed him for a few seconds during half time.

Prince william

He looks so cute

 

[Roslyn]

Seeing that pic of him writing in the guest book, I notice he is left-handed. I don't know if that was common knowledge, but I didn't know and I think it's interesting. I hope no-one's still trying to force left-handed children to write with their right.

 

[princesslily]

^ Yes he is left handed. The press first realised when he started Eton college and signed a book there.

 

[Magpie8907]

Charles is left-handed as well, though I think that is about the only trait he passed to William!

 

[Avalon]

Really? I always thought they are very alike.

 

[sara1981]

no

Charles is right-handed but William is left-handed
