A former classmate of Prince William said the future King left everyone in hysterics with what he wanted to be when he grew up. Actor and comedian Humphrey Ker attended Ludgrove School in Berkshire with William, and went on to attend Eton with the Royal Family member too. He recalled one particiularly funny moment at Ludgrove when everyone was asked to write a few sentences about what they wanted to do when they were older.
Humphrey, who has worked with the likes of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, said many went through the standard aspirations such as wanting to be a pilot or a football player before the time came for William. While others in the class had more options, with William being the heir to the throne, it was obvious that he might have far less choice in what he would become when he grew up.
Speaking about the experience to the Telegraph, Humphrey said: “Some people said fighter pilot, Arsenal striker, this and that, the usual.
“He said, ‘I want to be a policeman.’ And everyone burst out laughing, because of course he wasn’t going to be a policeman, we all knew everything that was going to happen in his life – he was going to be king.”
While discussion with Humphrey was on the role William wanted when he grew up, attention has turned to his younger brother and whether he could play a role in the Royal Family.
Following Andrew’s departure from Windsor, royal photographer Ian Pelham Turner has suggested that this could pave a way back for Prince Harry and a reconciliation.
He said: “All these negotiations, perhaps, for example, with Harry have been accelerated. I think William feels very aggrieved at Harry. So Charles has done a trade-off.”
Speculation about a potential return to the UK by Prince Harry, alongside a reconciliation, follows the publication of an essay written by him to mark Remembrance Day earlier this month in which he espoused his love for his home country.
In it, he wrote that Britain “is, and always will be, the country I proudly served and fought for”. Following this statement, another royal expert has alleged that this shows how much he is missing the UK, having lived in the US for nearly six years.
Veteran royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told Fox News: “Harry’s essay on Remembrance Day showed him at his best and also highlighted his status as an exile.
“Exiles feel deep regret. He knows the military was the making of him after the trauma he suffered following the death of his mother, which still haunts him. He has given back with the Invictus Games, a remarkable achievement.
“His words clearly came from the heart and were all the more moving for that. His respect and affection for Queen Elizabeth II, whom he called ‘my Commander-in-Chief,’ is undoubted.”
