Prince William: 'I don't lie awake waiting to be king' BBC News

[@agrantus174]

I have so much respect for Prince William. He's answering the questions without showing irritation because he knows people say so much bad stuff about them. At the time of this interview, he is an air ambulance pilot, which is a very impressive job, a husband, father, and working royal. I think his life seems exhausting so I don't see him as reluctant at all! He also made the comment that the Queen "hands down" more and more responsibility and that he will accept it as she continues to do so. He has taken on a lot more royal duties in the past year or so, and I think he genuinely wants to just do the best he can with his role. Lots of respect to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge!!

[@DeniseEggertwaterlily]

+ A Grantus That British BBC interviewer is an jackass! Was he the only person in the free world that was ignorant of the fact that Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, had a military career and was working full time as an air ambulance pilot, besides doing charitable work and raising a family? As an American, I have a lot of respect for Queen Elizabeth II, who worked in the Women's Auxiliary Territorial Service ( comparable to the American Women's Army Corps) as a mechanic on every vehicle.She learned to drive every vehicle that she worked on. Prince Charles was in the military and Prince Andrew was very active in the Navy, seeing combat in the Falkland Islands. Prince Philip had a distinguished naval career. Both Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, and his brother, Prince Henry (Harry), Duke of Essex, have had distinguished military careers, along with starting ground breaking charities for those who who are under served and disenfranchised. They have scrubbed toilets and done manual chores abroad for these charities. I should think that the British would rather have royals who know personally what it is to serve their country in the military, as well as having experience working in labor intensive careers. They aren't sitting back eating bon-bons at the palace, and cutting ribbons and for photo opportunities. The BBC should have sent a more contemporary reporter who knew what was going on in the world and was more knowledgeable about the careers of the British Royals.

[@lekis5975]

@A Grantus His colleagues at the Air Ambulance East Anglia snitched on him, they revealed he was only showing up to work on average of TWO days a week. When one of the tabloids exposed him for being workshy, the Palace defendied him and said, that working 2 days a week was in keeping with Air Ambulance REST between work requirements. Air Ambulance then said, they had no say over how William balanced his work load and his royal engagements. Him and missus were the laziest royals, doing the least engagements, which sometimes consisted of attending 1 hr meeting at Kensington Palace

At which point an EAAA official came out and rebutted that claim stating they expected him to work his full 40 hours, and what he did with the rest of his time was none of their business.

This interviewer absolutely shocks me. He's beyond rude. Keeps pressing William for further answers when he seems happy with the way he's elaborated and the interviewer needs to just back off. William was also trying to say that he does understand the immense duties he has lying before him but that he doesn't let them consume him and he's focused on the duties at hand, and interviewer isn't happy with those answers. Puts words in his mouth " you are thinking about it quite a lot".. I almost see him as trying to trip him up or press him past a point. Will is very level headed and didn't lower himself. Lovely guy and his bashful smile looks just like Diana's.

I noticed his smile as well. I think at times behind that smile he was thinking…”who let this joker in here to asks these stupid questions!” William had a slight smile when the interviewer brought up that he doesn’t do many royal duties but when he brought in Catherine’s name in the same context it vanished. You don’t have to be a genius to know that the interviewer crossed a line and William was not going to play that game. The more William and his family have a normal life, the better leader he is becoming. He knows what he is doing.

William is not king yet. And though he recognizes his status as crown prince, anyone that knows a thing or two about William is that he PERSONALLY prefers to be called WILLIAM and not HRH. In formal address, he is called HRH whether he likes it or not, but in all other cases, he PREFERS it. Obviously, interviewers from any agency especially the BBC would always ask their guests how they like to be called. For royals, HRH is standard. William is NOT the first to be interviewed. and BBC of course knows the proper protocols. So when the interviewer called him "William", it's OBVIOUS it couldn't have been a gaffe.

it depends the way you say it....with respect...maybe William told him too...not to be too formal...this was taken a while ago....things have changed since then...in more ways than one

[@mogznwaz]

I guess respect as well as deference has gone out of the window...

[@claudiamoratto2022]

I do lie awake waiting for you to be king🥰🥰🥰🥰...you are the best of all, impeccable service, lovely family, respect and appreciation for what the queen has done all these years without complaining. I think you are the most appropriate person to take over. I would not like to see Camila taking the place that should be for our beautiful Diana. She was adorable♥️♥️♥️

Prince William is going to be favorite King of England. He is very much like her mother. If Princess Diana alive, she will be very proud of Prince William. William is very close to his childrens and his wife Kate. He is very loving father not like Prince Charles.

[@alexaclark2927]

what an impertinent man this reporter is, doesn't respect Prince William's desire to have as normal a family life as possible while he can.

[@deservingcomplexionm8111]

He is just doing his job

[@ruttiesoothie]

.. Williams kept saying everyone is still active, I am on the bottom now, I would like to use this time to explore my world before I have to step up to my roles more when they get older and can't be as active anymore...I was like what it is that you don't understand from his answers...the interviewer kept asking the same dang question..it is good for Williams to explore then back when this interview was done...and like Williams said there is a time for everything..and back then it was time for him to concentrate on his family while he still can because everyone is still active. ..and of course his son was still very young..let him be a child first for God sake otherwise you will have mentally unstable future King...Williams has his priorities in the right place...the interviewer not so much...thank God he is not George father...

The demeanor of William is a stark contrast compared to Harry's goodbye speech last night. They are light years apart. Sad for Harry but he has made all the wrong choices. William is a safe pair of hands, open, intelligent and great candidate for future head of state.

[@darkqueen4450]

Why is it's sad for Harry when he was torn to the wolves early on.......spending the time learning William the right to passage because he will be the King one day..... Put Harry in the lime light taken all the eyes off William..... Really... Ended Harry before he begin

Why?, Harry is no different from hundreds of thousands of other people who have lost their mothers at an absurdly early age. Why should we feel so so sorry for Harry? William ? Harry is on a path that has destruction written along it.. Eventually Meghan will give him the flick and he will be adrift, with alone no royal family and no one to back him

I think about when Charles had to tell William and Harry that Diana was killed. How absolutely horrendous for them all. What a horrible shock for the boys.

Queen was very proud of her Grandson. You can see lots of her in William. Lots not visible in Charles, Anne, Andrew and others.

[@tuesdayruffin977]

Prince William have a voice he good answers the question back yes you a father you handle what people say about you . Queen a positive in your life .

[@hellonearth-thehistoryofwa1270]

The Queen has been an exception to things, she's done nothing but work, and a king being a role model and preforming good works, is absolutely something he could do, kings once spent most of their time as soldiers, they can do so again, or as any other of the public services.

[@lifesajourney9575]

I believe both PH & DC will make a fabulous king and queen someday, they are both so sweet, humble, & truly dedicated to their beautiful family and to their senior royal duties. DC amazes me how she stands by her husband's side, nurtures her babies, and fulfills her hectic schedule & royal duties all with such class & grace! She's going to make a beautiful, humble, classy queen someday!

The interviewer comes across in a negative way with his interviewing style. HRH Prince William clearly has great devotion to the Queen and his father the future King, Prince Charles ( The Prince of Wales) and his lovely wife HRH Duchess Catherine ( Duchess of Cambridge) and children. HRH works very hard Air ambulance, his royal duties, and family life. 🇬🇧👏🏻👏🏻 🙏 They are clearly very proud of him as the public are too 🇬🇧👏🏻👏🏻

I found that interview hard to listen to. The interviewer kept asking the same questions. Williams grandmother had another six years to rule before Charles took over the throne... he doesn't want to talk about the death of his grand parents. I could see William squirming in chair albeit managed the interview extremely well, considering..

[@AltonTowersChild]

I would like to see him confront serious matters & have his voice heard. He has such enormous power & if he makes the right decisions & alters laws for the benefit of the people then that would be amazing!
