Prince William
Prince
William was born in the private Lindo Wing of St. Mary's Hospital in London on
June 21, 1982, more than a week before his due
date. He was the first male of the British royal family to be born in a
hospital. Prince Charles also broke with tradition by attending the birth. William
was born at 9:03 pm, and weighed 7 lb. 2 oz. A 41-gun salute was fired off in
his honor and Princess Diana was back home the next day.
Education
William
was educated at independent schools, starting at Jane Mynors' nursery school
and the pre-preparatory Wetherby School, both in London. Following this, he
attended Ludgrove School near Wokingham, Berkshire, and was privately tutored
during summers by Rory Stewart. At Ludgrove he also participated in football
—along with swimming, basketball, clay pigeon shooting, and cross-country
running. William sat for the entrance exam to Eton College and was admitted. After
completing his studies at Eton, the Prince took a gap year, during which he
took part in British Army training exercises in Belize. By 2001, William was
back in the United Kingdom and had enrolled, under the name William Wales, at
the University of St Andrews.
