Prince William was born in London,on 21 June
1982.He is the first child of prince Charles
and Diana,princess of Wales and third grandchild of Queen Elizabeth 11.
It was reported that
,the prince said to his mother ,at age seven, that he desired to be a police officer when he was older, so that he might be able to protect her; a statement
to which his brother responded: "Oh, no you can't. You've got to be King." William's first public appearance was on 1 March 1991 , during an official visit of his parents to Cardiff, Wales. After arriving by aeroplane, the Prince was taken to Llandaff Cathedral, where he signed the visitors' book, therebContinuing on his father's precedent, William was educated at independent schools, starting at Jane Mynors
'
nursery school and the pre-preparatory Wetherby School, both in London.the highest honours of any heir to the British and other Commonwealth realms' thrones. While at university, Prince William also represented the Scottish national universities water polo team at the Celtic Nations tournament in 2004.[10]William graduated from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst on 15 December 2006; the graduation parade being attended by the Queen and the Prince of Wales, along with other members of the Royal Family, and William officially received his commission as a lieutenant at midnight. With his rank obtained, the Prince, under the name of William Wales, followed his younger brother[16] into the Blues and Royals as a troop commander in an armoured reconnaissance unit, after which he spent four months in training for the post at Bovington Camp,

Princely Policeman?
William is currently undergoing training to be a Royal Air Force search and rescue pilot. But, when he was a boy, he dreamed of being a cop.
"A long time ago I wanted to be a policeman, when I was younger," he said. "I soon learned that probably wasn't a good idea." But his piloting is a success, he added on the show. "At the moment I'm still doing some sort of helicopter flying, doing search and rescue – It's going very well.
"My instructors would probably say, 'Not so well,' but I think it's going not too badly. I haven't managed to dent any of the aircraft [and] I haven't flown into any trees yet."
Following his parents' examples, William took interest in various causes from a relatively early age. The late Princess of Wales' work with HIV/AIDS aid and prevention, and the Prince of Wales' work with the natural environment and the inner-city disadvantaged, directed William into those areas. However, he also showed a desire to focus on the needy in Africa, sometimes working with his brother's charity, Sentebale.
On 23 January 2009 it emerged that Prince William has written the foreword to a book for the first time.[1] The cover of Home from War – the autobiography of a soldier from the prince's regiment who was seriously wounded in a Taliban ambush – notes the Prince's contribution.
