Prince William biography
On June 21, 1982, a joyful event happened in the royal family - an heir was born, who was named William. The birth of the future prince was a great joy for the staff of the London hospital, because before that they had not had to receive such a high-level person. Thus, Prince William became the first member of the royal family to be born outside the palace.
A month and a half after the birth, the newborn prince was baptized according to the canons of the Catholic Church. The ceremony was held at Buckingham Palace.
As a child, William played ordinary games with his peers, as if there were no differences between them. He was open to communication, and curiosity had no boundaries. His mother - Lady Diana - once even affectionately called him a "thinker", because the boy devoted a lot of time to books and self-development. From a frivolous boy who wants to have fun playing, he abruptly turned into a purposeful young man.
Prince William at Ludgrove School
At the family council, a decision is made - to assign Prince William to a boarding school in Berkshire called Ludgrove, at that time he was 8 years old, it was time to experience what independence is, there he studied the basics of grammar, reading and arithmetic. It should be added that in the room where he was in his free time, four other boys lived with him, thus the prince gained invaluable experience in terms of communicating with people.
In his youth, the prince had a talent for sports. He has achieved certain results in sports such as football, rugby and others. The prince also managed to become the captain of the junior hockey team. The childhood and adolescence of the famous person was remembered by the young man as an exciting adventure.
After graduating from Berkshire High School, in 1995, Prince William attended Eton College, where he studied art history, biology and sheography in depth. The teachers of the educational institution remembered the prince as a responsible student, unusually modest and distinguished by diligence. He was able to easily establish relationships with peers, there was always a large number of friends with him. The young man had a sociability that royalty can only envy.
In order to protect William from prying eyes, he was placed in a separate room, without access to any media. He could not keep track of the events taking place in the world. He did not immediately get acquainted with the notification of the death of his mother. He was in shock, bordering on insanity. At least, depression touched him for sure. First, the divorce of his parents, and a year later such terrible news, from which he could not recover on his own, so he had to consult a specialist - for some time he was observed by a psychoanalyst. Since then, he has become less likely to attend classes, communication with friends has been reduced to a minimum. He previously disliked the representatives of the yellow press, but now the hatred of the "paparazzi" has intensified to such an extent that there is still an opinion: the prince considers journalists to be the true culprits of the tragedy.
Prince William and adulthood
In mid-2000, William receives his diploma from Eton College and decides to interrupt his studies for one year. He intends to take a break from studying, to decide what he wants from life, and where exactly he will continue his studies. He traveled, participated in charity events, as his famous mother once did. Thanks to the royal heir, countries such as Chile and a number of localities in Africa received significant support. The princess's business continues to this day.

But the achievements of the heir to the throne do not end there. Later, the prince receives the rank of captain, and then he is awarded the position of defense lawyer. As for the last title, in the royal family it is especially valued, because this prestigious title, in addition to William, was awarded to five people from the royal family in its entire history. This fact confirms once again that William is a serious person.
The Prince's relatives, and William himself, is proud that he worked for a long time as a helicopter pilot for the rescue service. It is a great honor for him to participate in the salvation of people and to be a man with a capital letter in every sense of the word.
