I like the way he tilts his head down and looks up. That's exactly what Diana used to do. So sweet!! King William V.
-
I think he will make a fine monarch. He’s a good man and has picked a phenomenal wife to support him in his role. Good luck William.
-
William oozes competency, loyalty, tact, an all round solid, class act. With his beautiful wife, and children behind him, he'll be a splendid king.
-
He looks so much like his Mother, the facial expressions, the way he moves his eyebrows, he even blushes the way Diana did ~ he will be a wonderful King one day, bringing with him the changing issues of his generation. Best to him ~
-
He will be a great king. He carries himself so well and he made a point to say it was important to him to be a good father and bring up his children.
-
He looks just like Diana. What an intelligent man. And his voice, sooo beautiful!
-
William will be a great king. A modern man but fully respecting the institution he will be head of. And he handled this with class.
-
I just love William. He is a good guy. God bless him.

This reminds me of an interview I saw with Prince Charles years ago. Interviewer was asking about Charles chomping at the bit to be King. The Prince looked the reporter dead in his eyes and said, you do realize my MOTHER has to die for me to become King. Crickets...silence....mic drop...puts it all in perspective. Grandma...and Pop are still around and I'm sure William would rather them be alive than to be King.
-
I found this older man interviewing William thoroughly annoying. I'm amazed at how well William answers. There's steel in that backbone.
-
THE QUEEN CAN BE PROUD KNOWING WILLIAM WILL MAKE A TRUE LOYAL KING ONE DAY. SUCH A WONDERFUL NATURE
-
The interviewer is a jerk. Poorly worded questions. I feel like he’s trying to as some rag mag “gotcha” questions. He keeps trying to trip up William and he’s not taking the bait. William is an intelligent young man that knows his destiny and loves his family.
-
"Just a case of keeping a secure, stable environment around him and showing him as much love as I can as a father"...round of heartfelt applause. Amen to that Sir.
-
Prince William is a well spoken , articulate young man.He is the epitome of a future King.
-
He speaks so eloquently, a true king.
-
Really respect the calm and wise answers from Prince William. From the Fiji islands, May God bless the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
-
He has a beautiful voice
-
He's focused on his family. Can anyone blame him, especially considering his family history of divorces, scandals and what happened yo his mother. When the time comes he's going to make an exceptional King.
-
He is going to make a remarkable King! He is extremely kind, genuine and he oozes class. He and Kate make a lovely team and their devotion to their family and each other is sweet and so touching. He reminds me so much of his mother both in looks and his whole demeanor. He is shy but confident at the same time which is a unique combination, and just adds to his lovability!
-
"To be honest I'm going to get plenty of criticism over my life time" a man who is mentally prepared to lead. He gets it! Plus gives off major first born vibes😂
