  • On the eve of the Queen's 90th birthday on Thursday, the next but one king - Prince William - has been speaking to the BBC about his grandmother, his interpretation of "royal duty" and recent criticisms that he is a somewhat "reluctant royal".
    The prince also told the BBC's Royal Correspondent Nicholas Witchell about his own ambitions for the monarchy when he finally succeeds to the throne.

    This interviewer is SO rude. Good for Prince William showing patience, intelligence, sincerity and class. He’s so well spoken and exhibits genuine sincerity in what he says about his outlook for the future. His late mother would be very proud of him.

Respectable, humble who sees his role as a monarch seriously. It must have been a very challenging life growing up as prince and will one day be a King. More power to you Prince William,

    I have so much respect for Prince William. He's answering the questions without showing irritation because he knows people say so much bad stuff about them. At the time of this interview, he is an air ambulance pilot, which is a very impressive job, a husband, father, and working royal. I think his life seems exhausting so I don't see him as reluctant at all! He also made the comment that the Queen "hands down" more and more responsibility and that he will accept it as she continues to do so. He has taken on a lot more royal duties in the past year or so, and I think he genuinely wants to just do the best he can with his role. Lots of respect to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge!!

      + A Grantus That British BBC interviewer is an jackass! Was he the only person in the free world that was ignorant of the fact that Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, had a military career and was working full time as an air ambulance pilot, besides doing charitable work and raising a family?
      As an American, I have a lot of respect for Queen Elizabeth II, who worked in the Women's Auxiliary Territorial Service ( comparable to the American Women's Army Corps) as a mechanic on every vehicle.She learned to drive every vehicle that she worked on. Prince Charles was in the military and Prince Andrew was very active in the Navy, seeing combat in the Falkland Islands. Prince Philip had a distinguished naval career. Both Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, and his brother, Prince Henry (Harry), Duke of Essex, have had distinguished military careers, along with starting ground breaking charities for those who who are under served and disenfranchised. They have scrubbed toilets and done manual chores abroad for these charities. I should think that the British would rather have royals who know personally what it is to serve their country in the military, as well as having experience working in labor intensive careers. They aren't sitting back eating bon-bons at the palace, and cutting ribbons and for photo opportunities.
      The BBC should have sent a more contemporary reporter who knew what was going on in the world and was more knowledgeable about the careers of the British Royals.

When one of the tabloids exposed him for being workshy, the Palace defendied him and said, that working 2 days a week was in keeping with Air Ambulance REST between work requirements. Air Ambulance then said, they had no say over how William balanced his work load and his royal engagements. Him and missus were the laziest royals, doing the least engagements, which sometimes consisted of attending 1 hr meeting at Kensington Palace

They are all descendants of George III and Victoria, they are ALL full of royal blood. However, Charles did not marry a cousin, did he? William's mother was not of royal blood, was she? Diana was from an aristocratic family but not royal, if I'm not mistaken, therefore, William probably actually has LESS royal blood than some of his relatives.

    This interviewer absolutely shocks me. He's beyond rude. Keeps pressing William for further answers when he seems happy with the way he's elaborated and the interviewer needs to just back off. William was also trying to say that he does understand the immense duties he has lying before him but that he doesn't let them consume him and he's focused on the duties at hand, and interviewer isn't happy with those answers. Puts words in his mouth " you are thinking about it quite a lot".. I almost see him as trying to trip him up or press him past a point. Will is very level headed and didn't lower himself. Lovely guy and his bashful smile looks just like Diana's.

      I noticed his smile as well. I think at times behind that smile he was thinking…”who let this joker in here to asks these stupid questions!” William had a slight smile when the interviewer brought up that he doesn’t do many royal duties but when he brought in Catherine’s name in the same context it vanished. You don’t have to be a genius to know that the interviewer crossed a line and William was not going to play that game. The more William and his family have a normal life, the better leader he is becoming. He knows what he is doing.

    When he asked the second question it was almost as though he hadn’t listened to the answer to the first.
    Then to suggest that Prince William was ‘partially exempted’ from Royal Duties, was to me insinuating that he wasn’t pulling his weight. There was an edge of implied criticism to all of his questions.

    Too bad more people do not understand a simple fact: that this family owns an incredible amount of land, bought and inherited over many many centuries--and they give ALL the income from that land to the government. In return, the government gives them a small fraction of that annual income back, in the name of the "civil list." So the truth is, that family costs NOTHING to the taxpayers. Not a single farthing. And that family also gives great service at no charge to the country, by their work in government, work for charity, representing the country around the world, and on and on. They stay out of politics, but give their advice to the government behind the scenes, as they have the legal right to do. So give them a break! They are just people like you are!

    I've never seen a reluctant royal. He is very ambitious and I think his wife is to. Leave him be to learn his role and raise his children properly. He, William, Harry and Kate, the nieces and nephews are hard workers. I respect the Queens daughter, Princess Anne who is a royal "workhorse". So if these children have learned half from the Queen, Philip and their fathers and mothers then they will do right by their vocations in the future. Give them a chance. They were lucky to have the people today who have helped them get this far. Thank God we live today in this regard. For Williams detractors if you took the time to study the Queen and her life you will see that William is being allowed to apprentice in the footsteps of his Father and Queen Elizabeth II.

      William is not king yet. And though he recognizes his status as crown prince, anyone that knows a thing or two about William is that he PERSONALLY prefers to be called WILLIAM and not HRH. In formal address, he is called HRH whether he likes it or not, but in all other cases, he PREFERS it. Obviously, interviewers from any agency especially the BBC would always ask their guests how they like to be called. For royals, HRH is standard. William is NOT the first to be interviewed. and BBC of course knows the proper protocols. So when the interviewer called him "William", it's OBVIOUS it couldn't have been a gaffe.
