Prince William’s fond of a good ‘Fry Up’

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

Prince William has admitted that he is fond of a good ‘fry up’ – but keeps it healthy by using brown bread! The Telegraph reports

(William) says that, with his brother Prince Harry, he often has competitions to see who can cook “the best and quickest fried egg” for breakfast and claims some notable successes.

The Prince, 27, won some praise when he cooked full English breakfasts for homeless people at an event earlier this month to celebrate CentrePoint’s 40th birthday, although Milly Aber, the charity’s chef, said his scrambled egg still needed some work.  He says he always uses brown bread rather than white “as I am a healthy kind of person”.

He said the full breakfast came after an army exercise. “It is normally a full breakfast after an army exercise. But if not, cereal or toast,” he added.

Prince William set to share Queen’s Duties

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

British treasury documents uncovered by the Daily Mail show that Prince William is about to take over a substantial part of the Queen’s duties…Daily Mail

The disclosures come despite months of denials from the Palace that the Queen was planning to step back from her official work in favour of her 27-year-old grandson.

(The Daily Mail) has obtained an uncensored version of the document which confirms that the Queen is grooming William as a ‘Shadow King’. One blacked-out line states that ‘the Princes will increasingly incur expenditure when undertaking engagements on behalf of The Queen’.

Another censored section, stressing the key role for William, says that ‘from next year, it is expected that HRH The Prince William will spend a significant part of his time on official engagements… we need to put the necessary provisions in place in anticipation of that’.

The leak will add to speculation that the Queen believes William, rather than Charles, represents the best long-term interests of the monarchy, and will raise new questions about the timing of William’s long-anticipated engagement to his girlfriend Kate Middleton.
