I do think I am a country boy at heart. I love the buzz of towns and going out with friends and sitting with them drinking and whatever - it's fun - but, at the same time, I like space and freedom.

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.

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.

I am and always will be an HRH. But out of personal choice I like to be called William because that is my name and I want people to call me William - for now.

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.

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

You hear a lot of horror stories about proposing and things going horribly wrong - it went really, really well and I was really pleased when she said yes.
