Prince William and His Future Fairy Tale Princess

William Arthur Philip Louis Spencer Mountbatten-Windsor, simply known as Prince William of Wales, was born on June 21, 1982 at 9.05pm at the Lindo wing of St. Mary’s hospital in Paddington, London. He is the eldest child of Prince Charles and Diana, the Princess of Wales. His younger brother, Prince Harry, arrived in the royal world, two years later.

William’s birth was celebrated through out Great Britain and all Commonwealth of Nations under Her Majesty’s realms, he was honored with a 41-gun salute from the British Royal Armed forces. He is not only expected to ascend the British throne but also to steer the rigid establishment into a more normal and friendly environment. His upbringing, though very much upper class, has a touch of a common trend. His mother fought hard with palace rules to rear him like a normal human being. He is the first heir to the British throne to study nursery school like a commoner and to have no governess assigned. Diana continued breaking royal traditions by allowing William to wear jeans and bull caps and visit ordinary places like Mac Donalds and amusement parks which was prohibited by Charles’s family.

He took a gap year after finishing high school at the prestigious Eton College and went on to join the British army in humanitarian mission in Chile, South America. He finished a Bachelor’s degree in Geography at St. Andrew’s University in Fife, Scotland in 2005 with a second upper class honors. Because of such rare academic distinctions, he was awarded with Scottish Master of Arts degree. He became the loving protector of his mother, comforting the late Princess of Wales when the maltreatment of the royal family reduced her to tears. He even declared that he wanted to become a policeman so that he can protect his mother. When the sad news of Princess Diana’s death knocked the House of Windsor, William was clearly devastated, he escorted his mother’s coffin at the funeral and bowed his head as he walked slowly to the altar of Westminster Abbey. In 2000, he declared he would reinstate his mother’s HRH style when he became King. Diana lost the HRH (Her Royal Highness) status when her divorce to Prince Charles became final in 1996. The title arrived in marriage and departed through divorce.

His mother’s training, less than traditional but more in touch with the call of the present times, might help Prince William guide a worn out Kingdom to a more open-minded institution. But there are traditions of the monarchy that could not be transported into the liberated society, forcing this tradition to modernize, could forever eliminate the magic and existence of the Kingdom. One of these revered traditions is the selection of the suitable Queen Consort.
