  • On the eve of the Queen's 90th birthday on Thursday, the next but one king - Prince William - has been speaking to the BBC about his grandmother, his interpretation of "royal duty" and recent criticisms that he is a somewhat "reluctant royal".
    The prince also told the BBC's Royal Correspondent Nicholas Witchell about his own ambitions for the monarchy when he finally succeeds to the throne.

      He favours the Duke of Edinburgh in his appearance. This interview cancels ou t an extremely offensive video which portrays Prince William smugly looking forward to replacing the present monarch. But before his turn comes, is Prince Charles. One can see that Prince William is a very decent, honest and responsible man, and some of these videos on RUclips about the Royal Family are deliberately contrived t o totally deceive.

      He absolutely does but let’s not forget he’s been groomed for this his entire life.
      I don’t think he and Kate have been work shy but rather focused on family. Considering the upbringing of his father, aunt and uncles and that of he and his brother after losing their mother, he no doubt realizes at this juncture in his life raising strong and confident children is as much a part of his job as being 2nd in line of succession.
      I feel the events of the last 18 months have been the catalyst for him showing the leadership that he’s truly capable of. He could not have picked a better partner than Kate.

      Harry is the spare, just look at Princess Margaret it can be common for the other to retaliate and push boundaries. I do agree that William would be a fantastic King 👍🏼 Let’s skip Charles and go straight to William! I personally don’t see the need to create a whole new currency (British coins & notes) with Charles when realistically he will sadly pass in the next few years (it may be another 10-20 years or more but I just consider the public expense) perhaps if Charles was King surely it would be sensible to put William on the currency praying that nothing happens to William. These are just my thoughts, so if anyone is reading this please don’t take offence, I just wanted to share my thoughts 😊

Prince Harry is actually a much better person than he is. And Harry is nothing like Charles in his thirties. A young Prince Charles would have never left England when his pregnant wife was being harassed by the British media like Prince Harry did. Charles lacks the strength and character Prince Harry has.

The gossip was creating drama on how William and Catherine are not taking their royal duties as serious and are just enjoying the luxury without the work. But I saw that the Queen and Charles are allowing Prince William and Catherine to have their first year with George without the stress and obligation on doing royal business. Allowing them that enjoyment with their first child without the fuss and living away from the public having that freedom to work normal jobs as William was doing as a helicopter rescue pilot.

    "not fully engaged by dividing the role as a father and future monarch?" we really need a 21st century interviewer. By first being a good father he is setting an example of future direction of monarchy. Prince Wills is so graceful, polite and confident. ❤

    What an impressively thoughtful and humble young man born into probably the most watched family in human history. God bless and help him live into the person he aspires to be.

    What a lovely caring, considerate & wise man William is. Diana the Princess of Wales would be bursting with pride to see & hear her eldest son. William will make an absolutely fine King when his time comes.

    Oh dear quite fluent and articulate in his speech
    Nice guy. Wish he and his family GOD'S blessings and protection.
    I'm glad he respects his father and grandparents for ever.
    I can't help but see his mum plain plain when I look at his face.
    God bless you Prince William.

    William was smart about all this. HMTQ and HMTK after, realised how important it was for William to have time to raise his family and just as important, serving real UK people with his air ambulance work. He brings a real life working knowledge which will stand him in good stead when it is his time. Love him. He'll be a magnificent monarch.

      Right?! I just watched it and thought Wow. I wish I could answer questions that well. He’s been taught and prepared and has natural qualities that I think will serve him well. I know the Palace approves most interview questions before they’re asked but as other Royals have shown, you can still talk yourself into a trainwreck. 😂 William speaks with a self assured, deliberate honesty that will serve him well as King.

  • @rmb6550

    it's a good thing that he took his time...to become a father and a husband first before the time he will be king. his clock is setting right for him. unlike everyone of his predecessors. his grandma became queen at a young age. his dad and mom married at a wrong time. william, god guides you.
