Prince William of Wales was born on the 21st of June, 1982. He is the eldest son of Charles, Prince of Wales, and Diana, Princess of Wales. From his birth, it was expected he would one day become king of England. His early years were spent out of the public spotlight, following the tragic death of his mother. He graduated from Scotland’s St. Andrews University and went on to join the military. He is now a helicopter rescue pilot.

威廉王子出生于1982年6月21日。他是查尔斯王子和戴安娜王妃的长子。从一出生,他就有望成为英格兰国王。由于母亲的不幸逝世,他的早年生活并没有活跃在公众的视野当中。他毕业于苏格兰圣安德鲁斯大学,并参了军。目前,他是一名直升机救援飞行员。

William and Kate met at university. Reports are William became interested in Kate after seeing her on a catwalk at a college fashion show.
