Prince William - who's sixteen tomorrow - has admitted disliking many
aspects of public life.
For the first time, he's agreed to answer written questions about his
private life.
The Prince has revealed he sometimes finds it difficult to deal with the
attention of his young female fans.
(Script) This is the first real insight into the personality of the
young prince. In written answers to a questionnare from the Press
Association, William reveals he isn't always comfortable in the public
spotlight, and sometimes finds it difficult to deal with the adulation
of teenage girls, for whom he's become a pin-up.
SOT, Edwards: "William's got to, um, I suppose, grow to like it. He
doesn't like it at the moment. He doesn't like anything to do with
exposure to the media. He doesn't like anything to do with public life.
But, slowly, he's coming around."
The Prince, unlike his father, is a fan of pop music, especially techno.
But he says he also enjoys the classics. In common with Prince Charles,
he enjoys action. In William's case, in novels, in films, and in real
life, on the rugby pitch. A keen sportsman, he also has a passion for
water polo, football, and tennis. The Prince's father is known to have
had an unhappy time at his public school, Gordonston. In contrast,
William says he's enjoying Eaton, and even likes the school uniform. His
other interests are what you'd expect of a typical teenager: computer
games, fashionable clothes, and fast food. As for his ambitions, the
heir to the throne doesn't look to his probable future as king, but
instead, to Africa, where he wants to go on safari.
