Prince William, who is the grandson of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, is second in the line of succession to the British throne. He was born in 1982 and tied the knot with his sweetheart Kate Middleton in 2011. The couple are currently parents to a son named Prince George.
Following are 20 quotes from Prince William about everything, from life principles ambitions, his mother to his wife Kate Middleton and as Future King.
“When I was younger and my parents used to always slap my hand if I was picking my nose or if I was running around screaming I was told to shut up.”
“Harry can paint but I can’t. He has our father’s talent while I, on the other hand, am about the biggest idiot on a piece of canvas. I did do a couple of drawings at Eton which were put on display. Teachers thought they were examples of modern art, but in fact, I was just trying to paint a house!”
“I’ve had lots of kids come up and ask for my autograph, I’ve had a grandmother stop me and ask me if I know a good place to buy underwear.”
“I’m always open for people saying I’m wrong because most of the time I am.” “I think it’s very important that you make your own decision about what you are. Therefore you’re responsible for your actions, so you don’t blame other people.”

“I do think I am a country boy at heart. I love the buzz of towns and going out with friends and sitting with them drinking and whatever – it’s fun – but, at the same time, I like space and freedom.”
“No one is going to try to fill my mother’s shoes, what she did was fantastic. It’s about making your own future and your own destiny and Kate will do a very good job of that.”
“I just want to go to university and have fun – I want to be an ordinary student. I’m only going to university. It’s not like I’m getting married – though that’s what it feels like sometimes.”
“The last thing I want to do is cause loads of hype or problems, I just want to go in there and get my asparagus or whatever.”
“I am absolutely delighted to have got over the first hurdle, but I am only too well aware, having spoken so much to Harry, that this is just the beginning.”

“I always remember having a healthy respect for my grandmother.”
“When the Queen says ‘well done,’ it means so much.”
“I don’t deliberately select my friends because of their background. If I enjoy someone’s company, then that’s all that counts. I have many different friends who aren’t from the same background as me and we get on really well…it’s brilliant.”
“All these questions about do you want to be king? It’s not a question of wanting to be, it’s something I was born into and it’s my duty. . . . Wanting is not the right word. But those stories about me not wanting to be king are all wrong.”
“People say it’s not ambitious, but it is actually quite ambitious wanting to help people.”

“When I first met Kate I knew there was something very special about her. I knew there was possibly something that I wanted to explore there. We ended up being friends for a while and that just sort of was a good foundation. Because I do generally believe now that being friends with one another is a massive advantage. And It just went from there.”
“After a very busy three weeks spent in the City, I now have a much better understanding how all the different financial institutions work and how they fit together.”
“Everybody thinks I drink beer but I actually like cider!”
“You hear a lot of horror stories about proposing and things going horribly wrong – it went really, really well and I was really pleased when she said yes.”
“My guiding principles in life are to be honest, genuine, thoughtful and caring.”
