The Prince and the clotheshorse ... Wherever Claudia Schiffer walked, Prince William wasn't far behind.
The normally shy Prince William has found that royal duties can have their pleasant side.
The Prince, who has regularly shunned the spotlight, gallantly stepped into his father's shoes to host a lavish dinner at Charles's Highgrove House on Friday night.
And though there was a bevy of celebrities at the dinner William had trouble taking his eyes off model Claudia Schiffer.
William and younger brother Harry generously stepped into the royal breach after their 52-year-old father was knocked unconscious in a fall from his polo pony on Friday.
So while Charles was under observation in Cheltenham General Hospital overnight, the princes took care of his duties without looking too unhappy.
July 27-Hmmmmm.....Prince William is not haveing a good week is he? Another article about press intrusion into his life.
LONDON (Reuters) - Prince William was involved in a gun scare when his bodyguard dropped a loaded pistol during
a scuffle with a photographer, newspapers reported.
The Glock 9mm semi-automatic fell in front of the 19-year-old prince as minders tried to stop the photographer taking
a picture. The gun did not go off.
"William was hustled clear, but he looked angry, scared and upset," the Mirror tabloid quoted an unnamed witness as
saying.
Other newspapers said the incident was over very quickly and that the prince seemed unaware of what had happened.
William had been enjoying a night out with friends at a London restaurant before the incident, which was caught on
camera and splashed over tabloid front pages.
"There was no risk to any individual. We are not prepared to discuss the incident further," a police spokesman told
Reuters.
Royal officials were not immediately available for comment.
The royal family is heavily guarded by armed police and Thursday's incident is not the first mishap with a loaded
weapon.
In June, an inquiry was launched after a police guard accidentally fired his gun at Buckingham Palace.
Last year, an armed guard travelling with the queen on her royal train accidentally fired two shots just yards (metres)
from where the monarch and Prince Philip were sleeping.
William is enjoying a year off from his education. He will begin a degree in art history at St Andrew's University in
Scotland in September.
July 26-New Article about Prince Wills smoking! To see the ITN video click here.
LONDON (Reuters) - Prince William has strongly denied a newspaper report that he had become a regular smoker, royal officials said.
"He tried one a few years ago, but he absolutely hated it," said a spokeswoman for 19-year-old William.
"He has never tried it again since. He thinks it's a dreadful habit and is very anti-smoking."
The Express newspaper reported that William had taken up smoking two years ago.
His father Prince Charles is known to be strongly anti-smoking and the Queen is reported to have described cigarettes as "nasty things".
William is enjoying a year off from his education before beginning art history studies at St Andrew's University in Scotland in September.
He has spent some time studying conservation in Africa and doing community work in a remote part of Chile.
July 16-New articles and pics about Princes William, Harry, and Charles playing polo together for the first time. Thanks to Ela and Kacy for the last two pics. Enjoy! =)
Prince William in bodyguard gun drama
Prince William stubs out smoking report
HIGHGROVE UNITED has arrived as a new force on the polo field, with the Prince of Wales and his two sons playing together on the same side for the first time yesterday in a charity match at Cirencester Park, near the Prince’s Gloucestershire home.
The royal side beat the local Cirencester opposition by 4.5 points to four. Prince William scored his team’s third goal. His father at one point lost his temper, throwing away his stick in disgust and demanding a replacement.
All three played in a charity match at Henley-on-Thames last year, but on that occasion Prince William joined his father while Prince Harry played for the opposition. In that match honour was saved with a 5-5 draw.
Prince Harry again played against his father last month, with his elder brother and the model Elle MacPherson watching from the sidelines as Prince Harry’s side trounced the Prince of Wales’s team.
Prince William, encouraged by his father, took up polo while at Eton, but has been absent from the field recently while travelling on his gap year to South America and Africa. He was back in action last week, playing on the winning side in a charity match at Sherston, Wiltshire, and watched by another model, Jodie Kidd.
Both young princes are regarded as highly capable players. William has overcome the handicap of being a natural left-hander to wield his stick right-handed, as the rules of the game demand, to considerable effect. When he goes to St Andrews University in October he is expected to play for Dundee and Perth, one of only two polo sides in Scotland.
Injuries and advancing age have forced the Prince of Wales to give up top-class polo, but he is still a regular player in charity matches. Proceeds from yesterday’s match, which attracted a large crowd in bright sunshine, will go to the Prince of Wales Hospice in Pontefract, the Bristol Cancer Care Centre and the British Wheelchair Sports Foundation.
St James’s Palace confirmed last night that it was the first time the three princes had played together publicly in the same team, but could not say whether the Highgrove Three would become a regular line-up. July 13-Article about Prince Wills shooting an endangered bird.
St James's Palace is refusing to comment on reports that Prince William shot a protected bird during his gap-year trip to Africa. The 19-year-old is said to have blasted the ibis out of the sky with a 12-bore double-barrelled shotgun on his trip to carry out wildlife conservation. The shooting apparently happened as twilight descended on the Kenyan wilderness and the Prince believed it was a game bird. As Prince William was riding with European farmers known as the "Kenya Cowboys", their African bush tracker shouted "Ndege" - meaning bird. The Prince shouldered his 12-bore and fired off both barrels, killing the creature outright, according to the story spreading among white settlers in Kenya. As it dropped to the ground, someone pointed out that it was in fact an ibis, a stork-like wading bird. Although it is said to be good to eat, shooting one is considered bad sport and, depending on the exact species, illegal. The Prince is reported to have been crestfallen at the error. The general feeling among Anglo-Kenyans is one of forgiveness but, nonetheless, the question of which type of ibis he is supposed to have shot is subject to intense debate, according to the Spectator's website - www.spectator.co.uk - where the story was first reported. Although possible that it was a sacred ibis, famous for being venerated by the ancient Egyptians, this is considered unlikely. The Prince's apparent victim was most likely, says the Spectator's correspondent, to be a hadada ibis, named for its distinctive cry. Fortunately, this bird is not endangered and is a relatively common creature. Whatever the truth of the incident, St James's Palace is refusing to comment on the subject.

July 7-New articles about Prince Will's adventure in Africa!
Prince William’s African odyssey will be the highlight of his gap year
IT became a constant refrain of Prince William in Africa: “Had a great time: wished it was longer.” His comments in the visitor’s book at Macatoo camp came at the end of his exhilarating, week-long stay in the Okavango Delta.
The visit could not have been better timed. Rain that had fallen upriver months before reached the seasonal floodplain in front of Macatoo in late May. The game moved in to drink from the river, flowers bloomed and staff celebrated by swimming in a campfront pool.
William rode in a group of five every day, following elephant trails and waterways, observing buffalo, lion, wildebeeste and zebra. Two nights were spent in a “flycamp” overlooking a hippo pool where fires were lit to keep predators away from the horses.
His hosts, African Horseback Safaris, assess every rider for their ability before starting out — William passed with flying colours, and joined regular guests and company guides John or Dany for six-hour daily rides from the camp, including the Moremi Game Reserve.
At Macatoo, William met up again with guests in the plunge pool, at the bar and for candlelit dinners in a mess tent before heading back to his twin-bedded tent with en-suite shower and loo. At night, he could sit in an armchair on the veranda overlooking a floodplain dotted with palms.
For William, it was a relaxing swansong to a four-month stay in Africa that was a highlight of the gap year he is taking before university. It was a private trip, arranged independently by family friends in Africa, designed to allow William to escape from it all. It worked, and he relaxed.
“Everyone really enjoyed having the group there — but William made it very clear that he didn’t want to be treated any differently from other guests,” said Gill Spells, of African Horseback Safaris.
But his African odyssey was not designed as one long holiday. William set out last autumn determined to make the most of his gap year before starting at St Andrews University in Fife this autumn.
After working on a farm in Cornwall, he travelled to Chile with Raleigh International. His trip to Africa was arranged in the new year; he left in early March and returned two weeks ago having visited Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana twice and Mauritius.
It was essentially a trip to learn about game conservation, wildlife and environmental protection. “When you are in the bush, you learn to see, you observe the way animals behave. It is very educational,” says Spells.
William began in Tanzania, where, four years ago, he stayed with his father and brother at the Selous safari camp on the banks of the Rufiji river in the Selous Game Reserve. This time, he camped out on the shortgrass plains of the southern Serengeti, the calving grounds of the wildebeest before they start their migration north to the Masai Mara. William also travelled to the Olduvai Gorge and the Ngorongoro crater but not, as has been reported, in the company of the conservationist Dr Richard Leakey.
From Nairobi, Leakey genially told me: “Sorry to disappoint you. I have never met nor spoken with Prince William and we did not go the Serengeti or anywhere else.”
William continued his travels by following the wildebeest north to Kenya and making a lengthy stay at the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, where he was to receive his keenest training in conservation.
Lewa is often held up as the inspiration behind African self-help projects that combine wildlife conservation and community development. It was once a cattle ranch, then became a heavily guarded black rhino sanctuary, and is now the headquarters for a non-profit wildlife conservancy.
Tourists pay steep prices to do as William did and stay at Lewa and nearby Il Ngwesi (see story, right), where Lewa’s management has helped to build the organisation needed for nomadic and pastoral communities to conserve wildlife in their tribal areas.
Michael Dyer, a former Welsh Guards officer, was involved in creating Il Ngwesi, which, in 1997, was highly commended in the British Airways Tourism for Tomorrow awards for sustainable tourism. Dyer, who runs the nearby Borana lodge, also assisted in organising William’s African itinerary.
At Lewa, William learnt about wildlife management from Emma and Will Craig, whose grandparents settled there in 1923. Will’s brother, Ian, who lives there in a separate house, played host to Prince William.
“Twelve well-heeled tourists bring in more income in a week than 1,000 head of cattle,” William was told, a graphic example of how wildlife tourism can now sustain a community. Lewa directly or indirectly employs 450 people locally, including 200 rangers protecting, among other animals, 26 black rhino.
“Between us and the Ethiopian border there is just one wild rhino left,” Ian Craig told William. “Poachers have killed the rest.” Would his rhinos be poached if they weren’t protected? “For sure.”
Now tourists pay to see Lewa’s wildlife; not only rhino but elephant, buffalo, leopard and lion — plus one-fifth of the world’s endangered Grevy’s zebras.
Convincing Masai’s farmers that living with big game could be more profitable than ranching was not easy. “At first they were aghast,” says one of Craig's friends. "It was almost heresy. But in the end the economic arguments were unassailable."
The reserve, in the foothills of Mt Kenya, is run by Samburu and Masai tribesmen. A guest at Lewa said: "William stayed for a long while and loved it."
William's travels were to take him on to Botswana for a separate visit, where he studied the threatened African wild dog. There are 700 left in the Okavango region, and only 3,000 remaining on the continent. In between 'studies,' he could be found hanging out in Maun, the Delta's frontier town turned tourist attraction. He also flew to Mauritius for a break in April, but passed up the chance to chill out at Kiwayu camp, a resort on the Kenyan coast he visited four years ago.
William has one more gap-year stint, possibly helping out on his father's Duchy estates, before university. But it is more likely that his memories will be of sleeping out under cloudless skies, galloping across the open plains of Botswana and helping treat injured elephants at Lewa.
Our correspondent copies Prince William and visits Il Ngwesi, where the Masai now prefer tourism to hunting
I SLEPT in Prince William’s bed, and what a nice bed it was, too. A four-poster, naturally, framed by the branches of fallen acacia and mosquito netting, standing high above the thorn trees, rocks, gullies and scorched grass of the African bush. I didn’t sleep very well, it has to be said. The Masai protectors of the northern Kenyan conservation area of Il Ngwesi are far too good at their work.
Until recently, it would have been the occasional cow and goat bell drifting across the wide, black night sky that disturbed guests of the Masai, but now the community has abandoned farming for conservation and tourism. And so, despite the exhaustion that comes from tracking leopards in riverbeds, the lions kept me awake.
There are just four rooms at Il Ngwesi, all with extraordinary views of nature, unimpeded by walls or windows. Prince William, and later I, with my seven-year-old son George, stayed in one overlooking the waterhole. We were close to a tree where bait was placed to attract leopards; we didn’t see a leopard, but heard them at night. From the comfort of a cushioned chair at the foot of my bed, cold Tusker beer in hand, I spent hours watching water buck, dik-dik and gazelle anxiously drinking at the end of a hot day. And I expect Prince William did, too.
Each room has a bed on a wooden platform, with a rear wall and thatched roof but open to the elements at the front.
The nearby loos and showers are private, but also open to the marvellous views. I could hear an emerald-spotted wood dove in the rafters of my room, and at dusk bats swooped in pursuit of the “sausage” flies that look like miniature frankfurters.
Roars, grunts and rustlings grew louder later on and, switching on the torch to investigate, I picked out a small cat, a genet, by my bedside table.
There were no other guests during my visit, so we would walk into the bush with our Masai guides whenever we wished. In the evening guests eat together, simple meals based on local produce. It must have seemed a civilised arrangement for Prince William, who lives much of his life trapped in a fishbowl.

July 2-Prince Wills visited his mothers grave! *sniff* Here is the article.
By JOHN ASKILL
PRINCE William made an emotional pilgrimage to his mother's island grave on her 40th birthday.
He spent the night before at Princess Diana's childhood home in Althorp, Northants.
On the morning of her birthday - last Sunday - he rowed the 40 yards to her burial site with Diana's brother Earl Spencer.
William, 19, in casual clothes, carried a bunch of his mother's favourite flowers - all white - to place among the bushes.
He stood alongside Earl Spencer, 37, then spent several minutes alone at the graveside.
Minutes later thousands of visitors poured into the grounds to view the grave from beyond the island.
William slipped out through a rear exit of the estate.
One visitor said: "It was so nice that he wanted to be with his mother on her special day."
July 1-Another new article!
Prince William is to be inter-viewed by Scotland Yard detectives investigating the alleged theft of £6 million worth of property belonging to his mother, the late Princess Diana.
He will be asked to identify dozens of pop records, signed by both the artists and the Princess of Wales herself, that were part of her priceless record collection.
William will also study drawings, photographs and intimate letters written by himself and his brother, Harry, which were among hundreds of items seized when police raided the home of Diana's former butler, Paul Burrell.
Last night, Scotland Yard sources stressed that William will be seen informally, by arrangement with St James's Palace, at a convenient date before he starts his university studies in September.
Mr Burrell, dubbed 'My Rock' by the Princess, has been on bail since his arrest in January. He has always maintained the items found during a 12-hour search of his Cheshire home in January were given to him by his employer.
But officers, led by Detective Chief Inspector Maxine Bamford, are keen for Prince William to shed light on how the items came into the possession of the royal servant. Police inquiries into the disappearance from Kensington Palace of a £500,000 jewel-encrusted model Arab dhow, given to the Prince and Princess of Wales as a wedding present, moved forward earlier this year with the arrest and charging of Princess Margaret's butler, Harold Brown, and society jeweller Jan Havlik.
As part of the inquiry, Burrell's £200,000 home in the Cheshire village of Farndon was searched and dozens of photographs and hundreds of negatives were among items recovered from beneath the floorboards. The pictures catalogued some of the most intimate moments of Diana's life as a mother with her two small sons.
Also seized were pages from Prince William and Prince Harry's school exercise books, childish drawings done by the boys and letters the children wrote to their mother. Now The Mail on Sunday can reveal that among the haul recovered is Princess Diana's personal collection of pop albums, autographed in each case by the recording artists themselves and also signed by Diana.
Detectives will be anxious to establish who Prince William, who was 16 when his mother died in 1997, believes is the rightful owner of that collection. They think he may remember some of the albums being presented to Diana as gifts from the pop stars and whether she in fact gave them to William. The Royal Family is believed to be fearful that the princes might be asked to give evidence in any subsequent court case, but last night Yard sources emphasised that Prince William will not be interviewed as a witness, merely for information.
There is no evidence that any of the items seized has been offered for sale, but the existence of the family photographs in particular has alarmed senior Royals who are anxious to protect the privacy of the princes.
While Buckingham Palace is keen to have all items returned to the boys, who are Diana's legal heirs, Prince Charles and his sons remain very fond of Mr Burrell, 43, who is married to Diana's former dresser, Maria, and has two sons himself. The Royal Family have privately made it clear that even if sufficient evidence is produced, they would prefer that he is not charged.
July 1-New article about Prince William and his blond friend as well as two pics!
PRINCE William's obviously having a ball this summer — practising his polo skills with a lively blonde pal.
Looking tanned and relaxed after his gap year break in Africa, he quickly got back in the swing of country life helped by farmer's daughter Emma Lippiat.
The young royal and his 19-year-old friend, pictured right together, slipped away for some fun while watching Prince Charles and Prince Harry in a tournament at Cirencester Polo Club on Sunday.
Emma — in white T-shirt and cut-off jeans — grabbed a handful of balls to throw so William could brush up on his stick control.
A friend said: "He's been away a long time and wants to improve his hand-to-eye co-ordination."
Fun-loving Emma — also on her gap year between school and college — has become close to both William and Harry within a tight-knit circle of friends who live near their Highgrove home in Gloucestershire.
Horseplay
In the space of a fortnight she's been spotted at the centre of polo horseplay with BOTH lads.
While William was still in the African bush she joined 16-year-old Harry and pal Lizzie Ward for a day out at the Beaufort Polo Club,pictured left.
As Lizzie ruffled Harry's hair, the playful prince pounced on Emma and swung her over his shoulder. And on Thursday the whole group of chums surfaced again at Cirencester.
While Harry sunbathed on his brother's VW Golf, William kept in the shade with Emma and two other girls. When it was time to leave, gallant Wills helped Emma up before driving the party home. Emma lives a short drive from Highgrove in Alderton, Wilts.
A friend said: "She's a natural, unaffected girl who shares the princes' interests. She gets on with both of them and doesn't seem intimidated by the fact that they're royal."

The Blond Who's Stick and Balling with Harry and Wills
PRINCE William has made a return to the limelight after his recent adventures in Africa.
William, who turned 19 last Thursday, was back in the public eye at a polo match with his dad and brother at the weekend.
Unlike Harry, the only fillies he was seen with were of the four-legged variety.
But Australian model Elle "The Body" Macpherson kept a close eye on the pair. Last week, Harry was pictured flirting with three blondes at a polo match.
But Wills hung in the background as Harry played at Cirencester, Gloucestershire.
William starts a four-year history of art course at St Andrews in September.
June 21- Yes, he's finally 19 today!!!! =) Here are some articles!!! Sorry no pics!! :(
LONDON (Reuters) - Prince William is celebrating his 19th birthday today "quietly at home".
"He's not doing anything of great importance today and is spending the day quietly at home," a St James's Palace spokeswoman said.
The Prince of Wales will see his son this morning, while his younger brother Prince Harry is at school, the spokeswoman said.
William just returned from a three-and-a-half month trip to Africa. In the autumn he will start a History of Arts course at St Andrews University in Scotland.
Young, Rich & Royal
The time has come for 19-year-old WILLIAM WALES to go off to college. That is, Prince William of Wales -- DIANA and CHARLES' firstborn son, heir to England's royal throne and a fortune of approximately $1 billion -- is set to attend Scotland's St. Andrews University in the fall. Party time!
ET got the royal rundown from JD HEYMAN, senior writer of US Weekly. In the cover story for the magazine's upcoming July issue about William and younger brother, PRINCE HARRY, Heyman reveals how the 6'2" hunk of a prince expects to make good on his desire to "be a normal boy" while at school, and why he chose a campus so far from the palace.
"St. Andrews is a fun school," says Heyman. "It's a party school and it's far enough from London and the media that he can really let his hair down." Indeed, a survey published in the school paper says that "St. Randy's," as it's called locally, has "the most sexually active campus in the UK." And like most college freshman around the globe, William probably looks forward to all that collegiate life has to offer: the live-in dorms, the drinking parties, the chicks.... Because he's just like any other "fresher," right?
Not if Britain's two biggest tabloids, the Sun and the Mirror, have anything to say about it. They see the Prince's entry into this next phase of his life through dollar-sign-shaped lenses and are already making preparations for a media extravaganza. Each publication has reportedly bought a house near campus to serve as operational headquarters where they can hopefully monitor as much of the Prince's every move as possible. All the hoopla is due, as Heyman points out, to the fact that William is about to become the most famous college student in the world.
So how will the Prince manage to escape all the paparazzi? Heyman tells ET that since art history is the Prince's chosen major the university president BRIAN LANG has moved the entire art-history department. into his own home -- a mansion surrounded by high walls near the famous course where the British Open is played each July. The school's administration is also reportedly taking measures that will allow them to deal sternly with students who try to sell their accounts of the Prince's activities to the press. In addition, Heyman writes that St. Andrews' city councilwoman, JANE ANNE LISTON, told London's Observer that she will "take great pleasure in getting in the way of the paparazzi."
Heyman predicts that there will be no shortage of co-ed cuties for William to date while at St. Andrews, and the press already has its eye on a number of eligible blue-bloods who might just make a suitable match as the Prince's first "steady." Although he has been linked with several "older" women -- among them DAVINA DUCKWORTH, 22, with whom William sailed aboard Greek tycoon JOHN LATSIS' yacht for a Mediterranean cruise last year, and LADY KATHERINE HOWARD, 23, daughter of the EARL OF SUFFOLK who posed nude for a charity cookbook -- he has yet to take anyone very seriously.
The exciting edition of US Weekly hits newsstands tomorrow -- but for more on Prince William's adventures in college, tune in to ET tonight!
June 19-Excuse the lack in updates. But there is plenty comming up because William is BACK from Africa!!!!!!!! :)
WILLIAM OUT OF AFRICA
PRINCE William arrived back in Britain yesterday from his three-month trip to Africa.
Jet-lagged Wills, 18, was reunited with his father Charles at their country home Highgrove, Gloucs, after a 10-hour flight from Kenya.
The adventurous young prince now plans to "chill out" with friends until university in the autumn.
As part of his gap-year, Wills had been studying the hunting habits of lions in Kenya's Masai Mara National Park. A spokesman for St James's Palace confirmed he returned safely. Wills will see brother Harry, 16 - who is at school - at the weekend.
TWO French photographers have been charged with invasion of privacy over pictures they took at the crash which killed Princess Diana.
October 23-Interesting article:
Hundreds of students at St Andrews University demonstrated against a decision by the local licensing board to revoke the union's late drinking licence.
A Fife police spokesman said the alleged offences, which happened near the Market Street fountain in the early hours of Saturday morning, included jumping on a vehicle, attempting to damage a telephone box, climbing onto rooftops and urinating in the street.
Five students were subsequently reported to the procurator fiscal, the spokesman added.
Prince William will study history of art at St Andrews from next October after he has completed his gap year.
Superintendent Bob Thomson, commander of Fife police's eastern division, said the incidents came just days after he had voiced concerns to the licensing committee about late night drinking in the town.
He said: "The granting of late licences should only take place if they can be shown to be of benefit to the community as a whole, but I would question if this kind of behaviour would fit this particular bill.
"We have to take into consideration everyone in St Andrews, not just the student community, and I would suggest that actions like these are more to the detriment than the benefit of the majority of law-abiding citizens.
"It is a pity that the behaviour of a few can have such an effect on so many, but sadly the disruption caused, not just this weekend but on other occasions in the past, has given the police no alternative but to state the case against late drinking at certain establishments."
The licensing board is due to hold its next meeting on January 17.

Pictures of Prince William striding through a South American jungle have been attacked by St James's Palace as an invasion of his privacy.
The long-lens photos taken of the Prince without his permission are published in the latest issue of celebrity magazine OK!
Prince William, who is spending 10 weeks in Chile with youth charity Raleigh International, is seen picking his way through the jungle wearing combat gear and a large backpack.
In other shots, he has stripped down to a T-shirt, black shorts and a buoyancy aid as he uses a rope to cross a cascading river.
St James's Palace has repeatedly requested privacy for the Prince during his gap year. But he has been stalked by freelance photographers in Chile as he works his way through the Raleigh expedition.
St James's Palace says the publication of the pictures by OK! is "immensely disappointing".
In a letter to Lord Wakeham, chairman of the Press Complaints Commission, the palace said it was considering reviewing plans to arrange an official photocall with Prince William towards the end of his trip.
October 11-For those of you who don't know, Prince William is featured on People Weekly's October 16th Issue. Here are some of the pics from his gap year and the Queen Mum's b-day (the other pictures are already in the Press Conference section).
October 8-An article about Will's stay at St. Andrews:
Prince William will stay in a modest flat and eat pasta and baked potatoes alongside his fellow students when he starts university.
The prince will stay in an apartment usually reserved for visiting academics when he starts at St Andrews University next year, with his security officers in rooms on either side, the Sunday Mail newspaper says.
He has opted to stay in the flat, in St Salvator's Hall at the university, despite the offer of accommodation in a nearby mansion owned by friends of his father.
The prince's flat, which has a "basic and clean" bedroom, en-suite bathroom and sitting room, is the only two-room accommodation in the halls, known as St Sally's, which are home to 189 students in a mixture of single and shared rooms and feature on the university's web site.
All have a telephone socket and internet access, the site says - in common with the room the Prince had at Eton, where his studies included IT.
William is said to have seen the room, which will cost £2,276 for a year's rent with all meals, and given it his approval.
Meals will be in St Salvator's refectory, where the menu includes baked potatoes and sandwiches at lunchtimes and pasta, curries and casseroles in the evening.
A single room on each side of his flat will be occupied by royal protection squad officers, but they will be expected to keep a discreet distance. The hall is one of the most central for the university, with the History of Art department, where the Prince will be studying, and the library both within 300 yards walk.
And a series of bars, restaurants and takeaways, as well as the town's only cinema, are all at hand from the four-storey stone-built halls which overlook a lawn and have ivy growing up the walls. The halls also feature their own web site, with many residents having their own home page.
October 7-Couple new articles:
An interpreter has been thrown off the South American expedition which Prince William joined this week after it was discovered she was a journalist.
Rachel Humphreys, 30, was flown back to Britain after St James's Palace were informed that she worked for BBC Radio 5 Live.
Miss Humphreys had raised £2,000 for the Raleigh International trip to Patagonia and had no idea when she applied 18 months ago that Prince William would be joining the expedition.
St James's Palace said they were worried for the Prince's privacy after discovering that Miss Humphreys intended to file reports to the BBC during the trip.
A Palace spokesman said: "A few days before Prince William left for Chile, St James's Palace was told by Raleigh International that one of its staff members, a volunteer interpreter, was formerly a journalist at the BBC and during her time in Chile with Raleigh was intending to be involved in the business of journalism.
"This was to include filing reports to BBC Radio 5 Live and contributing articles to the media.
"St James's Palace has always been of the view that the media arrangements for Prince William's gap year, which have been designed after extensive consultation with the Press Complaints Commission, would only be successful if there was never the appearance of any one journalist having preferential access to Prince William.
"Only the fair and equitable treatment of all media at all times would help ensure he was able to enjoy a significant degree of privacy during this important formative year.
"For that reason and on the basis of information given to us by Raleigh, they agreed with St James's Palace that this journalist would be asked to leave the expedition in which Prince William was participating, pending a discussion with all parties."
Miss Humphreys, who had been in Chile since September, was said to be devastated at being ejected from the trip last Friday. She had raised funds for the expedition by working extra shifts at the BBC and going on a sponsored 26-mile hike in the Brecon Beacons.
LONDON (Reuters) - Teenage American girls are vying for a university place alongside Prince William at St Andrews university in Scotland, newspapers said on Saturday.
Interest in St Andrews among American students has reached fever pitch since Prince William announced in August that he would study at Scotland's oldest university in 2001 after taking a year off, the Daily Express said.
The 18-year-old prince will start a four-year course for a degree in art history in the autumn of 2001.
British Council officials in the United States said enquiries about St Andrews were at unprecedented levels.
"There has been a fair amount of interest in St Andrews, more than usual. We suspect this might be because of Prince William," Jenny Scott, the British Council's director of education promotion in Washington, said in the Daily Express.
The Daily Express said U.S. students were also interested in British universities due to the strong dollar and rumours that Chelsea Clinton might follow her father to Oxford University.
More than 30,000 U.S. students came to Britain to study in 1999, the Daily Express said.
William is enjoying a adventurous year off which has already taken him to Belize in Central America and Rodrigues in the Indian Ocean.
In what appears to be a first for British royalty he is currently in Chile sleeping in a tent in Patagonia as part of an expedition that will see William building bridges and observing the local wildlife.
October 5-Another article on Prince William in Chile:
COYHAIQUE, Chile (Reuters) - Dogs and security guards protected Prince William in southern Chile on Thursday, keeping at bay adolescent fans and local paparazzi intent on snatching a kiss or snapping a photo of the second in line to the British throne.
Dozens of security personnel blocked all roads to the headquarters of the expedition centre where William is learning survival techniques and how to operate radio equipment.
Sleeping in a tent in a field here in Patagonia, around 1,000 miles from Santiago, the Chilean capital, William plans to spend 10 weeks constructing bridges and studying local wildlife on a character-building expedition with 110 other young people.
"There is no access, that is the order," said one security guard wearing dark glasses.
The 18-year-old prince is holed up inside a ranch owned by Raleigh International -- the group organising the expedition. It is surrounded by pine trees and by the River Coyhaique, now swollen by runoff waters in the southern hemisphere spring.
Many gawkers were mere children. "He is so gushingly gorgeous. I just want to see him," said Cristina Rebolledo, a 12-year-old girl who walked to the Raleigh headquarters three miles outside Coyhaique, the rain-soaked administrative capital of Chile's least populated province, Aysen.
"We are fans, but they wont let us pass, not even to say hello," the schoolgirl said alongside four adolescent friends, thwarted in their bid to meet the prince by the security officers standing on guard on a dirt road leading to the Raleigh camp.
William, who will undertake community projects, scientific research and adventure tourism during his stay in Patagonia, is being guarded by his usual palace security detail as well as local Chilean protection agents. He arrived on Monday.
The prince and the 110 volunteers will carry out social projects such as building a local fire station and bridges and fixing houses of elderly residents of one of Chile's most isolated regions, which has no roads in the southern part because of dense forest and glaciers.
Scientific research will include study of the huemul, a Patagonian deer, and he will also take a kayak expedition in the wilds of the Chonos islands, west of Coyhaique.
Neighbouring farmers were bewildered by the tight security and the media interest in the prince, who said before he left for Chile that he raised 5,500 pounds in a sponsored polo match to pay his own costs.
"There are TV crews and paparazzi all over the town," said Vladimir Adarme, whose beef and sheep farm backs onto the Raleigh headquarters. "Where were they when we had some real news last month when it snowed at lambing time and killed all our sheep?" he asked.
October 4-New article on Prince Wills' trip to Chile:
By Chris Aspin
SANTIAGO (Reuters) - Prince William was camping in a field in a remote part of southern Chile on Tuesday after arriving in the South American nation to join a character-building expedition with 110 other young people.
The 18-year-old prince landed in Chile on Monday and flew to Patagonia -- near the southernmost point in the Americas -- where he plans to spend 10 weeks constructing bridges and studying local wildlife.
"There are no posh hotels down there and the prince and the other young people on the expedition will sleep in their tents at the camp centre," said Patricia Pavez, a spokeswoman for Raleigh International, the group organising the expedition.
William, who goes to St. Andrews University in Scotland in a year's time, will take a week-long induction course at the expedition headquarters in Coyhaique, some 1,000 miles (1,600 km) south of Santiago.
Coyhaique is the rain-soaked administrative capital of Chile's least populated province, called the Region Aysen. It is also the most isolated, with no roads in the southern part of the region because of the impenetrable forest and glaciers.
The prince, Pavez said, will spend his first week learning survival techniques and how to operate radio equipment before joining teams of volunteers to carry out community projects, scientific research and adventure tourism.
Social projects include building a fire station, local bridges and fixing the wooden houses of old people who live in the region.
A part of the adventure tourism will include a kayak expedition in the wilds of the Chonos Islands, west of Coyhaique.
Pavez said Prince William was guarded by his usual palace security detail and that there would be no public or media access to the expedition during his stay.
The prince said before he left for Chile that he raised 5,500 pounds in a sponsored water polo match to pay his own costs and to enable a disadvantaged young person from Newcastle to join the expedition.
While in Chile, William plans to keep in touch with his father Prince Charles via e-mail until he returns to Britain before Christmas.

PRINCE William has opted to stay at mixed digs at St Andrews University next year, The Sun can reveal. He has chosen a posh hall of residence which doubles as a hotel in the summer. Prince Charles had been expected to buy a house for Wills in the Fife town. Instead he opted for the hall after a hush-hush visit. But he won't be expected to slum it -Wills gets a room with a double bed, en-suite washing and toilet facilities, satellite TV and telephone. Fees are £60 a week for self-catering
places and £80 if meals are provided. At this year's open golf championship rooms were rented out at £1,200 each for a week.

September 2-Ohhhhhhhh....this is good!! Here's the article!!
Prince William has swapped the rigours of training with
the Welsh Guards in Belize for the white sands of
Mauritius for an "educational trip", it has been revealed.
A spokesman for St James's Palace said the prince
would be working on an undisclosed project with the
National Geographic Society on a private trip to the
Indian Ocean island.
The news of his trip
emerged when the palace
issued a statement asking
the media to respect the
prince's privacy during an
"important period of
personal development".
Prince William will be
attending St Andrews
University in 2001 after
receiving ABC grades in his
A-levels last month.
The teenager was taking
part in exercises with the Welsh Guards in Belize when
told of his grades.
The palace spokesman
said: "I can confirm that
Prince William is engaged
in an educational project in
Mauritius for a few weeks.
"This is a private trip and
the Prince of Wales would
be grateful, in accordance
with the guidance issued by
the Press Complaints
Commission, for the
media's continuing - and
much appreciated -
co-operation in respecting
William's privacy."
The spokesman issued a
clear warning to any part of
the media considering intruding on the trip.
"The presence of paparazzi at any stage may put in
jeopardy the facilities planned for later in the gap year,"
he said.
Mauritius is known for its white sandy beaches, palm
trees and stunning mountain scenery.
August 31-The third anniversary of Princess Diana's death. Here's an article:
The third anniversary of the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, on Thursday, is expected to pass with only low-key remembrance.
Prince William, Diana's 18-year-old son, will be away from home on the latest leg of his gap year between school and university.
And Prince Harry, who is 16 in two weeks' time, will be with his father, the Prince of Wales, at Balmoral, the Queen's private estate in the Scottish
Highlands. It was at Balmoral, on August 31, 1997, that the Prince of Wales told William and Harry about the Paris car crash which took their
mother's life.
Charles and Harry were with the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh and the 100-year-old Queen Mother at Crathie Church, Balmoral, last Sunday.
Prayers were said although Diana was not mentioned by name, as is traditional in the Church of Scotland.
The Princess's brother, Earl Spencer, is expected to spend the anniversary quietly at Althorp, the Spencer family's ancestral home where Diana was laid to rest on an island in a lake.
The Northamptonshire estate, which has been open to the public during the summer, will close tomorrow until next year.
At Buckingham Palace, the state apartments will be open to the public as usual during the annual summer opening. Elsewhere in London, people are expected to lay flowers at the
gates of Kensington Palace, Diana's former home.
In Paris, more floral tributes are expected to be left at the unofficial shrine above the Pont d'Alma tunnel where the fatal crash happened.
The Princess will also be remembered in prayers at Westminster Abbey where her funeral service took place.
Mohamed Al Fayed's security director, John Macnamara, will tomorrow stage a press conference in the United States on the eve of the third anniversary of Diana's death. The
Harrods owner's son, Dodi, also died in the high-speed crash with the car driver, Henri Paul, and Diana.
At the Washington DC press conference, Mr Macnamara is expected to release new details in Mr Al Fayed's continuing search for information on the tragedy.
August 23-New article!
Prince William has been voted the public figure most likely to make his mark in the new Millennium, according to a new survey.
The young royal is seen as a star of the future and was rated above footballer David Beckham and Prime Minister Tony Blair, who was also rated
nearly 10 places lower than his new son Leo.
The 18-year-old prince topped a poll of leading lights, beating London Mayor Ken Livingstone who came second and JK Rowling, author of the
popular Harry Potter series, who was voted into third place.
Beckham, who came fourth, was voted more likely to stand the test of time than his wife with the sport star attracting six times more votes than Posh Spice Victoria, who came 27th.
Sportsmen and women featured highly with golfer Tiger Woods coming fifth, striker Michael Owen sixth and the American tennis playing sisters Venus and Serena Williams both
ninth.
TV presenter Carol Vorderman came 7th and baby Leo Blair finished eighth, receiving twice as many votes as his father, the Prime Minister, who came 17th and beating his mother
Cherie Booth who was placed 23rd.
The poll was conducted by Collins Dictionaries who asked the public during six weeks in July and August to fill in forms nominating their candidates.
Politicians fared badly with William Hague finishing a lowly 20th and Chancellor Gordon Brown two places below him.
Geri Halliwell and Robbie Williams, two pop stars of the moment, shared 24th spot.
August 18-Uh-oh.
LONDON (Reuters) - Thirteen British soldiers have been injured in a truck accident while taking
part in a jungle warfare course along with Prince William in Belize, Central America, the BBC said
on Friday.
Two soldiers were seriously hurt and 11 cut and bruised when a track collapsed under their truck,
the BBC said.
The 18-year-old prince, son of Prince Charles, the heir to the throne, and the late Princess Diana, is taking a 'gap year' between school and the
start of a four-year course in art history at St Andrews University in Scotland in autumn 2001.
William will continue training exercises with the Welsh Guards -- of which his father is colonel -- until the end of August, after which he will
spend a few weeks on what Buckingham Palace has called an ``educational project.''
Details of what he will do next will be announced in late September, the palace added.
August 17-William's picked his college!! The article:
LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's Prince William will study at St Andrews, Scotland's oldest
university, after taking a year off, his father's office said Thursday.
The 18-year-old prince, son of heir-to-the-throne Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana, will
start a four-year course for a degree in art history in the autumn of 2001.
``Prince William has been accepted to attend the university of his first choice, the University of St
Andrews,'' St James's Palace said in a statement.
``Prince William has now left the country for the first stage of his gap year.''
First stop is Belize in Central America, where Britain's future king is joining exercises with the Welsh Guards -- in which his father is a
colonel -- until the end of August. After that he will spend a few weeks on what the palace called an ''educational project.''
Tall, handsome and regal, William will undoubtedly turn heads when he joins the 5,000 students at St Andrews, set in the medieval seaside
town an hour north of Edinburgh that is already famous as the home of golf.

January 10-An article on Wills and Charles not getting along.
LONDON - Prince William did not join other members of the royal family at their traditional
Christmas Day church service because he had just had a furious row with his father Prince Charles, a
tabloid newspaper said on Sunday.
The disagreement was sparked by the camera-shy 17-year-old's desire to be treated like any normal
teenager, according to the Sunday People.
Prince Charles was reported to be upset that William had refused to tell him where he would be
spending New Year's Eve and wanted to go out without his official bodyguards for protection.
At the time it was reported that William, the elder son of Charles and the late Diana, Princess of
Wales, was not well enough to attend church in the grounds of the royal estate at Sandringham in
Norfolk.
However, the Sunday People quoted a royal insider as saying: "It's all rubbish. William did have a cold but nothing that would
have prevented him walking a few yards (to church). Charles told William he had to face up to his responsibilities but his son
refused to budge."
Buckingham Palace declined to comment on the report.
Here are some pics for Christmas and New years:
December 26-Prince William is feeling much better now! Herez the article:
Prince William has attended church with members of
the Royal family after missing the Christmas Day
service.
The Prince, who looked pale, joked and laughed with
the Duke of York as he left Sandringham church on the
Royal estate in Norfolk.
He smiled, nodded and accepted flowers from
well-wishers as he made his way back to Sandringham
House on foot and said he was: "Feeling much better."
"One lady asked him how he was feeling and said she
was glad to see him at church today," said Sharon
Fleming, 42, who had travelled from her home in
Leicester in the hope of catching a glimpse of the
Royals.
"He said: 'I am feeling much better thank you'. And
then he carried on walking."
Barbara Reeve, 50, of Walpole Highway near Wisbech,
Cambridgeshire, also asked Prince William if he was
feeling better.
"I asked him how he was feeling today but he didn't
reply," said Mrs Reeve.
"To be honest I think he was embarrassed because a
woman had just given him some flowers just as I asked
the question.
"He was blushing but I thought he looked quite well."
Neither the Queen Mother nor Princess Beatrice, 11,
attended the service. A Buckingham Palace spokesman
said neither of them was ill.
December 25-As most of you know by now, Prince William Missed the Royal Family's
Christmas Service, because he was ill. From that there have sprouted many rumors.
For example: He has a mysterious disease and the doctors are going insane!
How about he just had a cold or fever or something? Doesn't that seem more logical?
