Duke of Cambridge : William Arthur Philip Louis

Born with original name, William Arthur Philip Louis on June 21th 1982, Prince of Wales, commonly as Prince William is the elder son of Charles (Prince of Wales) and Diana (Princess of Wales). He also the third-eldest grandchild of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.He is second in the line of succession, behind his father, to the thrones of sixteen independent sovereign states know as the Commonwealth.

As a male-line grandchild of the Sovereign and son of the Prince of Wales, William was styled 'His Royal Highness' 'Prince William of Wales', though he was affectionately called "wombat" by his parents or "Wills" (the latter a name coined by the press by which he is still known by the general public)

It was reported that, at age seven, William said to his mother that he desired to be a police officer when he was older so that he might be able to protect her,

statement to which his brother responded :

"Oh, no you can't. You've got to be King."

William's mother desired her two sons should have wider experiences than are usual for royal children. Diana took William and his brother to Walt Disney World  in addition they visited AIDS clinics and shelters for the homeless. She also bought them items typical teenagers used, such as video games.

William began to accompany his parents on official visits at an early age,  his first overseas royal tour was with his parents to Australia and New Zealand in 1983, a decision made by the Princess of Wales that was considered to be unconventional,  not only was William so young, but both the first and second in line for the throne would be travelling together

Diana, Princess of Wales, who was by then divorced from the Prince of Wales, died in a car accident in 1997. William, along with his brother and father, was staying at Balmoral Castle at the time. The Prince of Wales waited until early the following morning to tell his sons about their mother's death. At his mother's funeral, William accompanied his father, brother, paternal grandfather and maternal uncle in walking behind the funeral cortège from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey.

Prince William comforted his mother, and he was said to have wanted to let her have the style of Her Royal Highness again. He was reported to have said: "Don't worry, Mummy, I will give it back to you one day when I am King."

"It's [the engagement ring's] very special to me. As Kate's very special to me now, it was right to put the two [Catherine and Diana] together. It was my way of making sure my mother didn't miss out on today and the excitement, and the fact that we're going to spend the rest of our lives together."
