Young, sexy and royal
William Arthur Philip Louis Windsor was born on June 21, 1982 at St Mary’s
hospital in London. He is the second heir to the throne after Prince Charles, his
father. His grandmother on his dad’s side is Queen Elizabeth II. His brother Harry is
two years younger.
The two princes have family problems like1 other young children and suffer
when cruel events2 happen, such as3 their parents’ divorce and the death of their
beloved mother; Lady Di, killed in a car crash in Paris in 1997. William and Harry
cherish the memory of their mother and they have grown closer to their father. Wills
is also very close to4 his grandfather Philip.
William’s favourite school subjects are art and geography, but he is also good
at maths. He loves sports and D.I.Y5. Before going to St Andrew’s University in
Scotland, he had a gap-year around the world for humanitarian work.
Wills and Harry practice football, rugby, and skiing and like their father, they
have a passion for polo.
The Queen’s grandson is an ordinary teenager. He likes pizza and burgers; he
listens to music and enjoys his friends’ company.
