Duke William of Cambridge as a child. Prince William - biography, information, personal life
Prince William (William) Arthur Philip Louis, Duke of Cambridge, June 21, 1982 - Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus, eldest son of Prince Charles of Wales and his first wife, Princess Diana, grandson of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain. Second in line to the throne of the United Kingdom.
In England, the birth of each child in the royal family is accompanied by actions subject to strict rules. This also applies to the choice of names; history specialist royal family Patrick Montague-Smith has compiled a list of names from which parents must choose a name for their child, necessarily only from this list.
For a boy, the future heir to the throne, the following names are recommended: William (at accession to the throne - William), Edward, Richard, Charles (at accession - Charles), James or George (at accession - George). Recommended for girls: Elizabeth (actually in everyday English speech this name sounds like Elizabeth. - Yu. R.), Margaret (at accession - Margarita), Anna (sounds like Ann), Louise, Maria (sounds like Mary), Victoria or Catherine (sounds like Catherine). In extreme cases, as outsiders, the lists include Henry (at accession - Henry) and Robert, and for girls - Frances and Philippa.
Diana did not give birth in the palace. The two princes of the blood, William and Harry, are the only direct heirs to the throne who were born outside its walls. Both were born in the Lindo wing of one of London's most famous hospitals - St Mary's Hospital (St Mary of Paddington), which is not a luxurious or expensive hospital, but where Dr. George Pinker, the royal gynecologist, works. Dr. Pinker has broken with customs and traditions because he does not belong to the titled nobility. Patients are transported to his office on Harley Street by an old, creaking elevator.
It was he, Dr. Pinker, who insisted that the princes be born in the hospital, and flatly refused to listen to all the nonsense about the fact that children from the royal family should be born in the palace, because he considered this place completely unsuitable for childbirth. The family and royal entourage were somewhat shocked and worried by his statements. The Queen believed that traditions should be respected and that custom would be respected. For Dr. Pinker this was out of the question, and the princess, who trusted him completely, was of the same opinion.
Children's room Kensington Palace very different from children's Buckingham Palace. Charles and Diana chose pastel colors for her. For the curtains, Diana chose cretonne with a pink flower on a white background. On the bed with a soft feather bed in a cover with frills lay a luxurious bedspread that reached to the floor, and all this luxury was crowned with a canopy with draperies with many frills. Small blue rabbits and pink daisies adorned the white chairs and cabinets. On the light carpet that covered the entire room, there were pillows and a deep chair for the nanny.
The raising of royal children has changed since the childhood of Charles's grandfather, George VI, nicknamed Bertie, who was force-fed from a bottle and whose legs for a long time they kept him between steel plates because his knees were slightly dislocated and there was a risk that he would grow up bow-legged.
The nanny was so jealous of his parents and so angry at him for spending any time with them that she twisted and pinched his hands before pushing him into the living room, so that he would always come to them in tears. Well, how can you not be surprised that he became a stutterer?
Henry (Harry) and William escaped all this. If Charles wanted his sons to be honest, decent, polite, serious, reasonable, well-mannered, then Diana, for her part, wanted the children, above all, to be happy. “The Princess is a very devoted mother and devotes a lot of her time to Prince William,” Victor Chapman, the Queen’s assistant private secretary, said shortly before Prince Henry’s birth. “She watches how he is treated, how he is spoken to, how he plays. She corrects him if he doesn’t do something the way she would like.”
Prince William as a child and Prince George
The Princess of Wales, who showed extraordinary attention to the most insignificant actions of her sons, even kept a detailed diary in which she recorded all the details of the children’s growing up.
She chose their clothes herself: the thinnest, softest cashmere sweaters and scarves, decorated with the most elaborate embroidery - all the best for William and Harry.
Basic items of clothing for boys were supplied to Diana by the most luxurious children's clothing store, White House (“ The White house"). The Princess of Wales, who suffered greatly from loneliness as a child due to her parents' divorce, was constantly with the children. She breastfed her sons herself and taught Charles how to change their underwear, swaddle and bathe them. She spent a lot of time with them every day and in the fall of 1985 she even took the elder one to kindergarten in Notting Hill. Then, as it seemed, everything was fine with raising children.
“The eldest,” the princess believed, “is a cheerful, enthusiastic boy, not at all timid, very independent. He is a born leader and organizer, which will benefit him greatly later. So, on the day the school year started, he chose his own clothes, and it was better to let him do it...
Although the princes were very different from each other in character, they got along well with each other and really did not like being separated. William, who was called “Will” in the family, was the livelier, the most playful of the two, but Harry easily agreed to take part in the stupid things that his brother did.
In photographs, William always has a roguish, playful look, while Harry looks into the lens with some apprehension. As much as William is smiling, charming, and lively, Harry is just as timid, secretive, unsure of himself and attached to his mother. Diana tried to give everyone what they needed most - love.
“William,” he asserted, “is far from an ordinary boy. One day he will be king of England." In his opinion, Barbara Barnes too often took William's side rather than his wife's. And Charles began to demand that a nanny be hired for his son, “raised and trained in the old manner,” if possible, sharing ideas that had gone out of fashion. Banish the nanny who has become too popular! Banish!
It must be said that William showed great liveliness and mobility.
He first demonstrated his wild temperament when he was only one year and three months old and was already able to walk quite well in order to get to the toilet and throw his father's shoes into the toilet. He repeated the maneuver with his mother's shoes, and then with his own; By the way, young children, for reasons known only to the Lord God, love to take off their shoes.
His terrible character was fully revealed when he wanted to force his little brother Harry, who was then only seven months old, to chew on a stuffed rabbit, which, of course, was completely indigestible. During the wedding of Andrew and Fergie, he amused himself by sticking his tongue out at the little pages.
His first real stupidity was committed with a specific purpose: to watch the most interesting spectacle, and for this he caused a fire alarm to be declared at Balmoral Castle. He gave vent to his frantic energy by riding Whiskey, his first steed. Charles gave him riding lessons
Prince Charles, according to People, looks like his great-great-grandfather King Edward VII
The Queen did not hide the fact that she would like greater firmness to be shown towards William. The choice of college in which the eldest son of Charles and Diana was to study turned into a bitter dispute. Diana did not want her children to be imprisoned within the walls educational institution located far from home. However, in 1990, William was sent to full board at Ludgrow School, in Berkshire.
The loss of their mother was a tragedy for the children... just like for any child
So, at the age of eight, the prince was forced to learn to live away from his family, whom he saw only on Saturdays and Sundays. Diana somehow adjusted and began to arrange things so that her schedule, which required her to perform official functions, coincided with the schedule of her children’s classes and did not interfere with her communication with them. In the first place in her weeklies there were always records of dates of school holidays, dates of choir concerts in which boys participated, dates of sports competitions, etc.
In the autumn of 1995, William entered Eton. In the famous college he was under the strict control of very high officials. He had at his disposal a separate room with a separate toilet (this privilege applies only to princes of the blood). His personal security officer was stationed in the next room to ensure his protection. To be extra precautionary, William was given a special watch worthy of James Bond, waterproof, clever, with an electronic device built into it that allows you to follow the movements of its owner on the screen
Up to sixth grade (graduate year) high school in England.) for the first three years - no television, no radio! Forbidden, that's all! There was no question of hiding even a transistor radio in a suitcase! Despite his title and position in society, upon entering Eton, William was perceived as a newcomer. He already knew by heart the history of the college, founded in 1440 by King Henry VI, who expressed the wish that seventy needy boys be enrolled as students.
Since then, eighteen future prime ministers and many illustrious, eminent figures have attended the college, including the Duke of Wellington (victor of the Battle of Waterloo), Keynes, the economist, and George Orwell, the writer. The cost of training for each of the 1,267 students was about 15 thousand euros per year (130 teachers for 1,267 students). Parents could enroll their offspring on the list of candidates at the age of four, but without much hope, because only one out of ten “thirsty” ones was accepted as a student. The lists of those waiting their turn are already filled and “closed” for two years in advance. What is this? A tribute to old-fashioned morals? Perhaps not, considering how great the power of Eton is, even if we admit that some of its rules are outdated
William in England is a celebrity, a star of the first magnitude. He inherited the features of his mother: he is also blond, like her, he has the same smile, at the same time timid and dazzling, the same delicate white skin, he is as slender as she is and just as charming, he is endowed with the same all-conquering charm. In short, William is everyone's new favorite, the perfect future Prince Charming. But when Lady Diana died, a very heavy burden fell on William's shoulders: he realized that whether he wanted it or not, he would one day become a king, and against his will, his childhood should be like that of a future king; in addition, he was entrusted with an even more responsible mission: to become the hope of the monarchy and its savior in case it was threatened with death. They say he is very smart.
Next to his father, he learned the basics of his future “craft”, his future “profession” - to be a king. William watched as his father carried the burden of his responsibilities, he saw his father rushing from various conferences to the opening of enterprises, from funerals to the ceremony of handing over the order to form a government or nominating candidates from political parties how he hurried from charity events to military parades. He now knew that his turn would soon come. He was also trained by another, truly irreplaceable member of the royal family - the Queen. Eton is close to Windsor Castle, and William often had tea with Her Majesty on Sundays. A car came for him, and he and the queen spent two hours together.
After Diana's death, William actually becomes more and more close to the other Windsors. Diana's soft influence gradually faded and disappeared. And yet she “bequeathed” to him extremely important values: the desire to help one’s neighbor, the need for sincerity and truthfulness, the ability to listen to others. This posthumous influence is beneficial for the future king.
When William celebrated his eighteenth birthday on June 21, 2000, it became known that servants in the royal palaces began to refer to him as “Your Highness.”
William also trained in very exotic places South America(he spent two and a half months in Chile working with members of the charity Rally International) and in Africa, probably in search of adventure. So, he had quite a fun (if not rowdy) year before going to the University of St Andrew (St Andrew) in Scotland.
He began his "chronicle of the heart's affections" with Emma, the niece of Camilla Parker Bowles. He is also credited with fleeting affairs (more or less virtual) with Holly, the daughter of Richard Branson, with Annalisa Asbjornsen, with Elizabeth Jagger, with Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, with Isabella Anstruder-Cog-Colthorpe and with Natalie Hicks-Lobbecke... not counting the so-called innocent flirting with Britney Spears. William became the most excellent, most eligible bachelor in the world, the most desirable party and, of course, number one in the yellow press.
The sons of Charles and Diana, distinguished by their special charm, ease, naturalness and carefreeness, brought a light breeze of youth to the British royal court. Perhaps they will succeed in a matter in which Diana failed. Perhaps they can force the monarchy to change.
The Prince's thesis in 2005 was dedicated to coral reefs. He graduated from the university with a very good results(although not with honors), and in this he surpassed his father, a graduate of Cambridge. According to William himself, he spent four happy years in St. Andrew.
For some time after graduating from university, William worked and was engaged in socially useful activities, for example, representing Her Majesty in New Zealand, in the cities of Wellington and Auckland at the celebrations dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. In May 2006, Prince William entered the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.
He was commissioned in December 2006 and joined the Royal Cavalry as a Second Lieutenant. In this regard, his career is no different from that of his male ancestors, starting with Henry V, since in Great Britain the monarch formally heads the country's armed forces.
In 2009, after graduating from the RAF flight school in Cranwell, he was transferred to the Royal air Force and promoted to the rank of captain (Flight Lieutenant). In December 2011, he participated in the operation to rescue Russian sailors from the sinking ship Swanland.
On November 16, 2010, Clarence House announced the engagement of Prince William and his longtime girlfriend Kate Middleton.
The future duchess had been waiting for a marriage proposal from her indecisive prince for almost 10 years. For her royal patience, Kate Middleton was awarded not only royal status, but also the love of her subjects, and most importantly, two amazing kids. We remembered the love story of Prince William and Duchess Catherine and, of course, dreamed about our own princes (maybe even bald ones)…
The wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton took place on April 29, 2011 at St. Peter's Collegiate Church in Westminster Abbey in London.
Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams officially proclaimed Prince William and Kate Middleton husband and wife, and Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain awarded the young couple the title of Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
December 3, 2012 official representative The British Royal Household announced that Prince William's wife, the Duchess of Cambridge, is pregnant and is in the King Edward VII Hospital in central London with symptoms of toxicosis and will remain there for the next few days.
July 22, 2013 at 16:24 local time with Prince William and the Duchess Cambridge Kate Middleton was born a boy. The weight of the newborn was 3.8 kilograms. On July 24, 2013, it was announced that the name of Prince William's first child is George (George) Alexander Louis. He occupies third place (at the time of birth) in the line of succession to the British throne.
Three months after birth, the little prince was baptized in the Royal Chapel of St. James's Palace. Royal heirs are supposed to be baptized at Buckingham Palace, but Prince William and Kate Middleton broke this tradition. In the chapel where the sacrament of baptism took place, Kate received communion before the wedding, and in 1997 the body of Princess Diana lay here.
Even before the prince was born newspaper The The Washington Post called him "the world's most famous baby." Prince George of Cambridge became one of the first people in history to have articles about him appear in several language sections of Wikipedia even before his birth.
On September 8, 2014, a royal household spokesman announced that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were expecting their second child. The Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to her daughter Charlotte Elizabeth Diana on May 2, 2015 at 8.34 am in the presence of her husband. A birth weight of 8 lb 3 oz (3.71 kg) was recorded.
Prince William, on two weeks' maternity leave from his Royal Air Force service, attended the birth. He also spent the night that soon followed in the hospital - in a room specially allocated for him next to Kate’s room. William decided that he would personally take part in caring for his son.
Fans of the British royal family celebrated the birth of the princess with all their might. The famous restaurant Zizzi even prepared a pizza with a portrait of Charlotte and her parents.
Knowing the love of ordinary Britons for the royal family, Kate Middleton invited everyone to the christening of Princess Charlotte on July 5 at the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Sandringham (Norfolk). Outsiders were not allowed into the church itself, but everyone was able to see Princess Charlotte before and after the ceremony.
Moreover, the guests were invited not only to witness the event, but also to join the charity event: all the flowers that the guests brought with them were sent to East Anglia’s Children’s Hospice (EACH) - the organization has been patronized by Kate Middleton since 2012.
God bless the Queen, the Duchess, the Princess and the photographer Mario Testino who gave us these pictures!
Prince William never misses an opportunity to remember his beloved mother, Princess Diana. At the charity gala, William gave an emotional speech dedicated to Diana. And not just as her son and heir royal throne— Prince William heads an organization once founded by his mother, which provides assistance to children and adults who have suffered severe psychological trauma, primarily the death of loved ones. Prince William continues many of the good initiatives of Princess Diana. And this work gives him true pleasure and satisfaction. And we are waiting for Christmas and keeping our fingers crossed for the prince...or maybe the king?
To be continued...
Born 21 June 1982 at St Mary's Hospital, London. Father is a prince Welsh Charles(1948), first heir to the throne of Great Britain. Mother is a princess Welsh Diana (née Diana Spencer, 1961-1997), was born into the aristocratic family of the Earls Spencer and died tragically in a car accident.

Grandmother - Elizabeth II (1926), Queen of Great Britain from 1952 to the present. Grandfather - Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (1921). Younger brother- Prince Henry (Harry) of Wales (08/15/1984), fourth heir to the throne.On August 4, 1982, the Prince was christened by the Archbishop of Canterbury at Buckingham Palace. At baptism he was given the name William Arthur Philip Louis. He is now second in line to the throne after his father.
From 1990 to 1995, William attended the prestigious Ludgrove School in Berkshire. He was captain of the school rugby and hockey teams, played excellent basketball and football, and also participated in all running marathons.
After school, William entered Eton College, where he studied biology, geography and art history. For security reasons, the prince lived in a separate room at college.
In August 1996, Prince Charles and Princess Diana divorced. William had a very hard time with his parents' separation.
Prince William with his son George at a Royal Air Force event in the summer of 2016.The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are considered somewhat innovators in raising royal heirs, as some practice modern methods education: so-called active listening to the children, holidays in an informal setting (last year the family spent Christmas not in Sandringham with the Queen, but at the Middleton estate). But there is one tradition that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge never violate: at public events, William appears hand in hand with his son, Prince George, and Catherine with her daughter Charlotte. The same goes for posing for holiday photo shoots(a recent Christmas card, for example).
“Usually fathers are responsible for discipline, external communications, protection and provision in the family. And it’s not uncommon when we see a son next to his dad - this is how the boy naturally adopts role model which he will need in his future adult life. Traditionally, it is believed that only a man can raise a boy to be a man. That the Cambridges are convinced of this is proven by their family photos together,” explains parenting expert Jasmine Peters.
Yes, indeed, Kate and William are traditional parents who instill traditional roles in their children. By the way, the Cambridges have something to worry about: in August 2017, one of the major portals for British homosexuals published an article in which the young Prince George was called the main “gay icon” of our time. Scottish bishop and LGBT activist Kelvin Holdsworth went even further, who in December called on all sympathizers to pray secretly and publicly (“if they dare”) that Prince George would grow up gay and “God bless him with the love of a wonderful young gentleman.” Elizabeth II's former confessor, the Reverend Gavin Ashenden, has already described the call to prayer as "the theological equivalent of the curse of the wicked fairy in fairy tales."
Prince William is one of the most popular personalities in the world community and modern history Europe. Today, the Duke of Cambridge is a member of the British royal family and the first heir to the throne after his father, which he considers a great gift and a heavy curse. Despite this, the queen’s grandson has come to terms with the fact that William is a descendant of royal blood and fulfills his assigned duties in secular society with dignity, which attracts the attention of hundreds of thousands of people.
Childhood and youth
The biography of Prince William begins on June 21, 1982 at St. Mary's Hospital in London. The boy was born into the royal family and became the first heir to the throne after his father. William Arthur Philip Louis was the first-born of his parents and from the moment of the birth of Prince William gained popularity in society, as he became the only member of the royal family born outside the palace.
Since childhood, Prince William was a restless and inquisitive child, and also loved to play pranks and play around.

Then the boy took up his studies and free time dedicated to books, for which Princess Diana began to jokingly call her son a “thinker.”
A distinctive feature of the education of Prince William and his brother was the boarding school in Berkshire, as the mother categorically insisted that the children be taught not in the traditional isolated style, but on an equal basis with other children. Prince William calls schooling happiest days, since there the boy socialized and learned to communicate with people, which in the future allowed the prince to win the love of the British.
At school, the young man lived in the same room with four other students, with whom he studied reading, arithmetic, history and writing in classes. Also, the prince, whose height is 191 cm, became interested in sports and achieved success in football, hockey, marathon running and athletics.
In 1995, after graduating from school, the Duke of Cambridge entered the prestigious Eton College, where he studied art history, geography and biology in depth.

Thanks to the developed primary school Being sociable, Prince William quickly made friends, but, however, at Eton, William had to live in a separate room, not because of arrogance, but for security reasons.
The first year of a happy and joyful life at college ended with a terrible shock for Prince William. At the end of August 1996, the parents of the Prince of Wales and Princess Diana filed for divorce. The heir to the royal throne was very upset by the breakdown of his parents' relationship, but acted as the main supporter of his mother in the royal family, as he felt boundless love for her.

At that moment, the prince developed a so-called phobia, which was expressed in hatred of journalists, since the royal heir considers “paparazzi”.

But lawyering did not greatly attract the heir to the royal throne, so William decided to devote himself to working in the British rescue service.
