Prince William

“I think it's very important that you make your own decision about what you are. Therefore you're responsible for your actions, so you don't blame other people.”

“Being a small boy it's very daunting seeing the Queen around and not really quite knowing what to talk about.”

“There's been a lot of speculation about every single girl I'm with and it actually does quite irritate me after a while, more so because it's a complete pain for the girls.”

“I have to say that I thought search-and-rescue duties over Snowdonia were physically and mentally demanding, but looking after a 3-week-old baby is up there!”

“I've had lots of kids come up and ask for my autograph, I've had a grandmother stop me and ask me if I know a good place to buy underwear.”

“I'm just very keen to have a family and both Catherine and I, you know, are looking forward to having a family in the future.”

“Only the mad girls chase me, I think.”

“There are times where you can't do it yourself and the system takes over, or it's appropriate to do things differently. But I think driving your son and your wife away from hospital was really important to me.”

“As I learned from growing up, you don't mess with your grandmother.”

“I'm reasonably headstrong about what I believe in, and what I go for, and I've got fantastic people around me who give me great support and advice.”

“It's my mother's engagement ring so I thought it was quite nice because obviously she's not going to be around to share any of the fun and excitement of it all - this was my way of keeping her close to it all.”

“People say it's not ambitious, but it is actually quite ambitious wanting to help people.”

“My guiding principles in life are to be honest, genuine, thoughtful and caring.”

“There's no pressure; like Kate said, it is about carving your own future. No one is going to try to fill my mother's shoes; what she did was fantastic. It's about making your own future and your own destiny, and Kate will do a very good job of that.”

“I'm still trying to decide. It's a really difficult one because I really enjoy my time in the Air Force. And I'd love to continue it. But the pressures of my other life are building. And fighting them off or balancing the two of them has proven quite difficult.”

“When the Queen says 'well done,' it means so much.”

“I just want to go to university and have fun - I want to be an ordinary student. I'm only going to university. It's not like I'm getting married - though that's what it feels like sometimes.”

“When I was younger and my parents used to always slap my hand if I was picking my nose or if I was running around screaming I was told to shut up.”

“I'm probably a bit of a cheeky grandson, like my brother as well. We both take the mickey a bit too much.”

“My relationship with my grandmother has gone from strength to strength. As a shy, younger man it could be harder to talk about weighty matters. It was: 'This is my grandmother who is the Queen, and these are serious historical subjects.'”
