Techno fan William is
enjoying Eton |
Prince William will study geography, biology and history of art at `A' level
after sitting 12 GCSEs.
In answer to written questions submitted on behalf of ITN and other news organisations,
William said he is enjoying Eton and likes the college's distinctive uniform of tailcoat
and striped trousers.
He has chosen his `A' level subjects after taking GCSE exams earlier this
summer and last year.
William is a keen sportsman and prefers rugby, football, swimming, water polo and tennis.
Reading is a favourite pastime, particularly action-adventure fiction and
non-fiction. He also likes action films at the cinema.
He has a pet female black Labrador, called Widgeon, and shares the Royal
Family's love of horses.
An ambition is to go on safari in Africa to see big game in the wild. William
missed out, because of commitments at Eton, when his younger brother Prince Harry went on
safari last year in Botswana while with the Prince of Wales in southern Africa.
Like most teenagers, William likes pop music - particularly techno music - but also
listens to classical music.
He has broad tastes in food, but enjoys simple dishes and fast food.
William is able to shop for clothes himself and likes modern styles.
The Prince does not have his own computer although he enjoys playing computer games.
He enjoys writing letters and also keeps in touch with family and friends by
telephone.
Essentially a private person, William is fast becoming a diplomat and keeps
his own counsel on a number of matters.
For example, he will not publicly express a preference for pop groups; nor
will he discuss his friends at Eton.
Still only 16, he admits that he is not always comfortable in the public
spotlight and sometimes finds it difficult to deal with the adulation of teenage
girls for whom he has become a pin-up.
William is unlikely to begin solo royal duties until he has completed his
education - probably not until he has graduated. He does not know yet which university he
would like to attend.
