Prince Wiliam didn’t like school


Britain’s Prince William didn’t like school.

The 31-year-old royal, who studied at Ludgrove Prep School in Wokingham and Eton College in Berkshire, confessed during a conversation with Girl Guides at Wimnalee in the Blue Mountains, New South Wales, yesterday (16.04.14) that he never really enjoyed studying.

The prince asked the group of girls how many of them don’t like their lessons and some put their hands up in the air.

Brianna Sten, 13, is quoted by the Express newspaper as saying: "A lot of the littler ones put their hands up. A lot of the seniors didn’t put their hands up. Will said: ‘That’s all right. I didn’t really like school either.’

"I said, ‘Me too.’ And then he high-fived me."

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were visiting the mountains to meet people who lost their homes in a tragic firestorm, which caused bush fires to sweep through the region, destroying hundreds of homes, six months ago.

However, the day wasn’t all smooth-running as local police officers were forced to detain two men "acting suspiciously" just metres away from the royal couple.

Although, William and Catherine – who have nine-month-old son Prince George – didn’t appear to notice the disturbance, but witnesses said they saw the two men get within 10 metres of the couple before being stopped, searched and detained by officers who ordered them to remove their clothing just as the royal car pulled away.

The royal family are currently on a three-week tour of Australia and New Zealand.
