Today's birthday celebrates Prince William. At 21:00 he will turn 35 years old, it is said in "Snidanku 1 + 1".
William always maintained the exemplary image of a decent man, a loving husband and a caring father. But he also has his skeletons in the closet.
He is heir to the throne, but he sleeps under bridges with homeless people. He saved dozens of lives, but could not help the closest person. He dreamed of an ideal family, but hardly lost it.
Minutes before the birth of Prince calculated all of Britain. From the first second of his birth, he was under close surveillance of the paparazzi and protection. William is the first-born of Prince Charles and Queen of the Hearts of Princess Diana. Grandson of the British Queen Elizabeth II. He became the first heir to the throne, who was not born in the royal palace, but in an ordinary London hospital.
Parents did everything possible to prevent William from growing up as a spoiled boy. And in six years he was given a boarding school. There he lived in a dormitory with three roommates. Above his bed hung a Pamela Anderson poster in a red swimsuit. But William was very bored. I missed my parents. And the news of their divorce was shocked.
A year after the divorce of his parents, the already unstable world turned upside down. Mother Princess Diana perishes in a car accident in Paris. The whole world immediately learns about the tragedy of the press. A 15-year-old William - only the next day from his father. After all, radio and television at home, Prince Charles forbade. The boy closed up and had no one to talk about his pain. It took years and the help of a therapist.
William travels extensively in Africa. Not for entertainment, but to be necessary. He is engaged in charity, as his mother used to do. Once he even slept in the street with the homeless. Later, he will invite them to the wedding.
In 28 he married a university friend of Kate Middleton. World-wide event broadcast online. The wedding entered the Guinness Book of Records for the most views. Kate gave the prince two children.
Family and children did not interfere with William's extreme work. Once the ambulance did not arrive on time to save his mother.
After the wedding, he got a job as a helicopter ambulance pilot. And almost every day I risked my life. He saved dozens of people. But one day I did not have time. 16-year-old boy drowned in the lake. The helicopter arrived late. The Prince still can not forgive himself this.
But the life of the prince is not as perfect as the British would like to believe. Once the paparazzi caught William at a Swiss resort with friends.
But next to the heir was not the wife, but the model Sophie Taylor. Kate Middleton at this time was at home with children. They say, Kate wanted to divorce. But they are together again at all receptions. Smile and joke. And there is no hint that ideal spouses can have their skeletons in the closet.
Recall, the other day, Prince William violated the royal protocol because of the tears of a woman. Duke of Cambridge, instead of a dry handshake, hugged the victim during the fire of a high-rise building in London.
