My relationship with my grandmother has gone from strength to strength. As a shy, younger man it could be harder to talk about weighty matters. It was: ‘This is my grandmother who is the Queen, and these are serious historical subjects.’
No one is going to try to fill my mother’s shoes, what she did was fantastic. It’s about making your own future and your own destiny and Kate will do a very good job of that.
I hope I’m not a tourist attraction – I’m sure that they come here really because St. Andrews is just amazing, a beautiful place.
When I was younger and my parents used to always slap my hand if I was picking my nose or if I was running around screaming I was told to shut up.
As any new parent knows, you’re only too happy to show off your new child and, you know, proclaim that he is the best looking or the best everything.
Being a small boy it’s very daunting seeing the Queen around and not really quite knowing what to talk about.
I’m just very keen to have a family and both Catherine and I, you know, are looking forward to having a family in the future.
It’s my mother’s engagement ring so I thought it was quite nice because obviously she’s not going to be around to share any of the fun and excitement of it all – this was my way of keeping her close to it all.
I’m probably a bit of a cheeky grandson, like my brother as well. We both take the mickey a bit too much.
It’s like a rugby team. If you’re picking for the World Cup final, you’re picking experience with youth. Everything is better off having that balance and that mix. I think that, especially, goes for the monarchy as well.
I’m reasonably headstrong about what I believe in, and what I go for, and I’ve got fantastic people around me who give me great support and advice.
The fish only knows that it lives in the water, after it is already on the river bank. Without our awareness of another world out there, it would never occur to us to change.
He’s a blockhead who wants a proof of what he cannot perceive. And he’s a fool a fool who tries to make such a blockhead believe.
I’m still trying to decide. It’s a really difficult one because I really enjoy my time in the Air Force. And I’d love to continue it. But the pressures of my other life are building. And fighting them off or balancing the two of them has proven quite difficult.
That which holds our attention determines our action.
There’s been a lot of speculation about every single girl I’m with and it actually does quite irritate me after a while, more so because it’s a complete pain for the girls.
I don’t deliberately select my friends because of their background. If I enjoy someone’s company, then that’s all that counts. I have many different friends who aren’t from the same background as me and we get on really wellit’s brilliant.
I am and always will be an HRH. But out of personal choice I like to be called William because that is my name and I want people to call me William – for now.
Only the mad girls chase me, I think.
Advertising, as a single entity capable of creating vast changes in our social structure, simply does not exist. Its impact is too diffuse, too omnidirectional.
The plain truth is that the only consistent theme in advertising is the absence of any consistent theme.
