Prince William: ‘I Am a Prince’

Prince William — anybody know what his deal is? — attended an anti-bullying workshop run by the Diana Award, a charity named for his late mother, on Monday. There, the royal with the goofy smile was asked if he could identify a difference between himself and others as a way to open up discussions about diversity and bullying. What is the one thing that Prince Williams thinks “defines” him?

“I am a prince,” he wrote. Followed by, “I am very tall.” Cheeky!

British TV singing coach Carrie Grant, who hosted the event in Birmingham, said, “I love the fact that in a way he did challenge us, because no one else in the room could say that. We all think, ‘Aren’t you lucky?’ But that comes with responsibility and a load of other things he’s had to process and journey through. There are challenges to that.”
