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)

Mike Tindall has a very short hair, he is almost bald (though apparently of own accord), but he still looks young, handsome and sexy. I wish William would try…

Good for William, so cool of him to be more of himself, new generation folks ! I just love it. I guess his true ways are been shown to his subjects.
I think the St. James office is doing the shared ideas forward, instead of do what I say stiffly. I am almost positive that some “his own cause” will soon be discovered by the future King.

Hi Guys,
Hello! has a poll to see which couple you want to see marry this year. William and Kate are one choice and are leading the polls by a nice margin! We should all vote!

Here is a video of William at The National Memorial Arboretum and the speech that he gave.

Great link,Rman. William has sure come a long way,hasn’t he? It was great to see him in that video. Did you notice how he was with those generals who had all the medals on their suits and Wills had just the one? I am sure he will be collecting his share as time goes on,though.
I am really enjoying watching his journey from an infant to a boy to a man and all his future brings. He is starting to come on his own and I think he is going to do great things just like his Mom.
