Berciana, we can do Prince Richard maybe another day. He is in the news all the time and not so interesting... and... well I think the thread is still alive and kickin'...! Octavius.
Oh there is still more Prince William to do in this thread about him, as Octavius also hinted at.
Here is an anecdote about Prince William from the memoirs of his mother -
" My other grandmother, Louisa, Duchess of Buccleuch, was also greatly loved and musch respected at Court. She had a host of friends as well as a large family to entertain, something she thoroughly enjoyed. A daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Abercorn, she was the eldest in a family of thirteen, which enabled my father to have two uncles younger than himself. At a lunch party at Barnwell when my son William was about six years old, the conversation turned to the subject of large and small families. I casually remarked that my grandmother was one of thirteen. I saw William looking horrified and when the guests had left he asked me if what I had said was really true. 'Of course,' I replied. 'But how dreadful!' he exclaimed. 'Did they have to drown some?' The labrador had just had a litter of eleven pups, five of which had had to be drowned, doubtless causing him much distress and now some confusion. "
