William (1982– )

Prince of the UK; first child of Charles, Prince of Wales, and his first wife, Diana, Princess of Wales.

William attended Ludgrove School, Wokingham (1990–95); Eton College, Windsor (1995–2000); the University of Saint Andrews, Fife, Scotland (2001–05); and the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst (2006). He became a troop commander in the British Army, following his younger brother, Harry, into the Blues and Royals cavalry regiment in 2006.

William is second in line to the throne after his father, Prince Charles. His first public appearance was a visit to Wales on St David's Day, aged eight years old. As William reached his late teens, he increasingly became the object of press attention, especially after the death of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales.

The real name of the friend was William Dane, and he, too, was regarded as a shining instance of youthful piety, though somewhat given to over-severity towards weaker brethren, and to be so dazzled by his own light as to hold himself wiser than his teachers.

The officers of the British army, and the loyal gentry of the province, most of whom were collected within the beleaguered town, had been invited to a masked ball; for it was the policy of Sir William Howe to hide the distress and danger of the period, and the desperate aspect of the siege, under an ostentation of festivity.
