Public Impressed with Prince William’s Casual Approach

Prince William gives schoolgirl a high-five at Football Club visit…

Traditionally, a royal would greet members of the public with a good firm handshake and a ‘how do you do’ when on official business. But today Prince William proved far more casual in his approach as he gave an 11-year-old girl a ‘high five’.

The 26-year-old was in Birmingham visiting Kingshurst Sporting FC in Birmingham in his capacity as president of the Football Association. (via Daily Mail)

I am Banksy, Prince William jokes at contemporary art opening…

“Before I start,” said Prince William, on his first official engagement in the tricky world of contemporary art, “I would like to admit something.”

The audience at the Whitechapel Gallery, where William was opening the newly expanded centre, must have wondered what was coming next. “I am actually… Banksy,” the Prince said. “I thought that this would be a good forum to bring it out.” He paused, then added: “Any autographs I will do later.”

As ice-breakers go, William’s effort probably has to go down as an unqualified success. (via Times Online)
