While Prince Harry is hard at work in Africa doing his mum proud by building a school, Prince William spent Monday taking part in a hurricane disaster relief drill with the crew of his ship, the HMS Iron Duke, on the island of Monserrat.
Sub-Lieutenant William Wales, as he is known, helped assess injuries at the site of a simulated bus crash and reassured “casualties” with a broad smile.

Kate Middleton has asked people to call her Catherine from now on.
It is thought that Catherine is a better name for a member of the royal family rather than just plain Kate.
The news of Kate's name change has added to the speculation that Prince William is planning to propose soon.
If they did get engaged and announce the date for their royal wedding thousands of mugs, plates and tea towels would instantly be made so it is important that they have the 'right' name.
A close friend of Kate told the Daily Mail: "Everyone knows it's about to happen with Kate and William but we were a little surprised about the request to call her Catherine.
"There's a distinct feeling that she has started to become very aware of her position."
Other friends of Kate have defended her request for people to call her Catherine: "No one ever referred to her as Kate - ever,"
"Her family and close friends have always called her Catherine and that's the way she prefers it."
The couple are currently on holiday in Mustique.

Prince William knows how to party and The Sun is showing us how much!!! Prince William was having fun celebrating his cousin's boyfriend's bachelor party when he became the butt of all jokes!
“They pulled his boxer shorts so high they ripped, then they all tried to pull his trousers down. Everyone got to see his bottom while he desperately tried to pull his trousers back up.”
But there are more incriminating pictures of Prince William with his cousin's boyfriend and his brother, but this time it was idea to be in them.
Peter and Mike were face-down on their beds stark naked and snoring for England.
“William got us to lie beside them to take some incriminating photos. We all got the giggles, and I bet Mike and Peter were horrified when they saw the pictures at breakfast.”
The Princes went out drinking with England's rugby players after being defeated in the Brazilian Grand Prix in Paris.
The England team began drinking after the heartbreak of defeat at the Stade de France on Saturday night.
They started again at the Marriott Courtyard hotel, their French base, yesterday.
First spotted in the hotel bar was the oldest member of the side, Mike Catt, 36, who arrived at around midday.
He was soon joined by others and princes William and Harry arrived a few hours later to watch the Grand Prix, along with the players' wives and girlfriends.
Harry was greeted with a round of applause and his older brother urging others to "be gentle" with him.
William, who was overheard admitting to being confused and confessing to fearing the "world's worst hangover" today, disappeared before the end of the race.
But Harry, under constant watch by his minders, continued drinking and chatting with friends and the players, who are due to fly home today.
He sank beers, smoked cigarettes and happily posed for photographs with the wives, girlfriends and other guests.
The prince ate pizza and ice cream with friends and his security men as the beers kept f lowing. He also indulged in some playfighting with friends and Vickery, who was also spotted lighting up.
BTW, the shirtless guy is Matthew Tait, another English rugby player. HOT!!!!!!

The best mother in the world: Unseen Diana photos taken by William
There could not be a more perfect illustration to the words that Prince Harry spoke at his late mother's memorial service: to him and his brother, Princess Diana was simply 'the best mother in the world'.
These remarkable and intimate photographs, two taken by Prince William and one by Prince Harry on a camera belonging to a nanny, illuminate his description: Diana is relaxed, playful and exudes a warmth that speaks of her love for her boys.

Prince William and Kate Middleton are officially back together - 12 weeks after they split up.
The pair, both 25, are said to have found it difficult to be apart.
'William has persuaded Kate that the problems of dating a future king are a price worth paying,' says a royal source.
The couple's four-year relationship ended in April after claims that Kate wanted commitment.
'Only when they took a step back did they have space to examine how they really felt about each other,' the source tells The Sun.
'They have now talked through their problems and are closer than ever.'
Kate and Wills, who did some smoochy dancing after the Concert For Diana on Sunday, are expected to go public soon at a polo match.
A spokesman for Clarence House declined to comment.

The 24-year-old prince says he is fed-up with all the conspiracies theories surrounding Diana’s death in a Paris car crash on August 31, 1997.
In an exclusive TV interview with America’s NBC network, he said: ‘I’m afraid there are always people out there who want to make money and their chosen methods is to do it this way.
‘There are a lot of people feeding it and, unnecessarily I might add.’ During the interview, which aired yesterday (18.06.07), William’s younger brother Harry admitted he was worried the obsession would continue.
The 22-year-old royal said: ‘I can’t see it ending really. People will always have a fascination about her.’ William and Harry were just 15 and 12 respectively when their beloved mother tragically died and hit back at claims they didn’t show enough emotion.
Harry said: ‘If we don’t feel comfortable pouring our eyes out in front of thousands of people, that is our problem.’ He added: ‘I think we’re both very grateful that each of us were there, you know, sort of as a shoulder to cry on if we needed to.’ William also revealed how upset his late mother was when somebody said she had cellulite.
He said: ‘Someone said she had cellulite or something like that. As a woman in the public eye, she tried so hard and was so glamorous, always in the gym.
‘For any woman, I imagine, it’s just outrageous that these people sit behind their desks and comment on it. There were many times we just sort of had to cheer her up and tell her she was the best thing ever.’

In their first-ever American television interview, Prince William and Prince Harry of Wales joined NBC News’ Matt Lauer for an exclusive interview airing Monday, June 18 on “Today” (7-10 AM ET) and “Dateline NBC” (10-11 PM ET). Lauer talked with the two Princes last month at their London residence, Clarence House, in this wide-ranging interview.
Following are some excerpts from the interview; if used media outlet must source NBC News and include programming information: 
RE: THEIR ATTEMPTS TO LEAD A NORMAL LIFE:
LAUER: Your mom used to say that one of her main concerns for you two was that you live as normal lives as possible.
PRINCE WILLIAM: Um-hm
PRINCE HARRY: Um-hm
LAUER: So ten years later do you think she would be happy or saddened by the state of normalcy?
PRINCE HARRY: I think she'd be happy in the way that we're going about it but slightly unhappy about the way the other people were going about it as in saying, "Look you're-- you're not normal so stop tryin' to be normal," which is very much what we get a lot. You know it's like stop tryin' to be normal. You-- You-- You've got certain responsibilities. Which obviously we do, and we know we have certain responsibilities. But within our-- within our private life and within certain other parts of our life we wanna be as normal as possible. And yes it's hard -- cause to a certain respect we never will be normal. 
RE. IT BEING THE TENTH ANNIVERSARY OF THEIR MOTHER’S DEATH
LAUER: As I was leaving the States telling people I was gonna come talk to you-- as you're about to mark the tenth anniversary of your mom's death I can't tell you how many people said, "Wow has it been ten years?" That it seems like two years or it seems like three years. How has the time gone by for you two?
PRINCE HARRY: Personally really, really slowly actually. It's weird because I think when she -- she passed away there was never that time -- there was never that sort of lull. There was never that sort of peace and quiet for any of us - the fact that her face was always splattered on the paper the whole time.
Over the last ten years I personally feel as though she has been-- she's always there. She's always being a constant reminder to both of us and everybody else. And therefore I think when you're being reminded about it, it does take a lot longer and it's a lot slower.
LAUER: Does it feel the same way for you?
PRINCE WILLIAM: Yeah I mean-- again just for my personal opinion, when you knew somebody or someone that important to you -- you always think about you know. I mean -- so after it happened we were always you know always thinking about it. And there's not a day goes by I don't think you know that I don't think about it once in the day. And so for us is a very slow and it's a lot-- it has been a long time.
PRINCE HARRY: You know when people think about it they think about her death. They think about you know how wrong it was. They think about you know whatever happened. I don't know for-- for me personally whatever happened you know that night. Whatever happened in that tunnel. You know no one will ever know. And I'm sure people will always think about that the whole time.
LAUER: Have you stopped wondering?
PRINCE HARRY: I'll never stop wondering about that. 
RE. THE CHALLENGES OF FORMING RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHERS:
PRINCE WILLIAM: I don't wanna be liked by someone just because of who I am. You know, I don't want the sycophantic, you know, people hanging around, you know?
LAUER: But you can tell those people right off the bat, can't you?
PRINCE WILLIAM: You can, yeah. Although some-- you know, some of them are--
PRINCE HARRY: Yeah, you can--
PRINCE WILLIAM: --are better than others.
PRINCE HARRY: --some of them-- some of them are good at playing along.
LAUER: Because obviously there's also a lot to lose if someone befriends you. You've got a lot of people out there who wanna make money.
PRINCE HARRY: But at the same time, you gotta understand that it's just as hard for our friends as it is for us -- there's a massive element of trust. You look surprised when I say that. But the reason I say that is because our friends have to put up with a lot-- when it comes to us.
LAUER: So the baggage is two-sided.
PRINCE WILLIAM: There's a lot of baggage that comes with us, trust me. A lot of baggage. 
RE. WHAT THEY WOULD BE IF THEY WEREN’T PRINCES
LAUER: If your last name weren't "Windsor," if it were "Smith" or "Jones," and you didn't have the duties that you were born into, what would you wanna do professionally?
PRINCE HARRY: All sorts of things.
LAUER: Like what?
PRINCE WILLIAM: Well, when I was younger, I wanted to be a policeman. And I wouldn't wanna be that now. (LAUGHTER)
LAUER: The most popular cop on the block.
PRINCE WILLIAM: Yeah, exactly.
LAUER: What would you wanna do?
PRINCE HARRY: I think it's-- it's--
PRINCE WILLIAM: I don't know. It's a really tricky question. I guess. I'd like to fly helicopters, definitely. I'd like to be some sort of heli pilot, you know, working for the UN maybe or something like that. Go off and do some, you know, I'd have to be doing something active -- outside and doing sort of fun stuff but with an edge to helping people.
LAUER: What about you, Harry?
PRINCE WILLIAM: He'd probably sit and play computer games and drink beer. (LAUGHTER)
PRINCE HARRY: Oh, thanks a lot. No, honestly, I don't know how well this would get on, but I'd probably live in Africa. I'd, you know, I'd like to spend all my time out there.
LAUER: In a humanitarian aspect?
PRINCE HARRY: Both. It would be a humanitarian aspect and as well as a sort of a safari aspect. I would have to get a job. So it would probably be a safari guide.

LATEST:British royals PRINCES WILLIAM and HARRY have branded the decision to broadcast crash scene images of their late mother DIANA, PRINCESS OF WALES "wholly inappropriate and deeply distressing".
Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, a senior aide for the pair, has written to U.K. TV network Channel 4 to request graphic images of Diana’s final hours be scrapped from the show, due to air on Wednesday night (06Jun07).
Among the pictures contested is one of Diana slumped in the back seat of the Mercedes moments after the fatal 1997 collision, and another showing a French doctor attempting to fit an oxygen mask to her face.
A statement from royal residence Clarence House says, "As of this morning (05Jun07), Clarence House had not received a reply from Channel 4.
"In publishing the letter, the Princes reluctantly feel that they have been left no choice but to make it clear publicly that they believe the broadcast of these photographs to be wholly inappropriate, deeply distressing to them and to the relatives of the others who died that night, and a gross disrespect to their mother’s memory." The letter, sent last Friday (01Jun07) by Lowther-Pinkerton, read, "If it were your or my mother dying in that tunnel, would we want the scene broadcast to the nation? Indeed, would the nation so want it?" Channel 4 insists it has weighed royal concerns against the legitimate public interest of the documentary and will not stand down.

Prince William has hit out at the media, following recent events concerning his girlfriend.
The Prince is fed up with the paparazzi following the couple, an occurrence which peaked yesterday, as Kate Middleton turned 25.
Middleton was surrounded by 30 photographers as she left her house on her birthday, and was prevented from moving her car by the throng of snappers. The Royal Family has taken measures to prevent all papers in the News International group from printing paparazzi pictures, a group that includes The Sun and the News Of The World.
“What Prince William wants more than anything is for the paparazzi to stop harassing her,” William's spokesperson said yesterday.

Twelve police officers were used to escort Prince William's girlfriend from a nightclub today.
A total of nine constables and a sergeant arrived in two vans at 3am outside Boujis.
The prince's two personal armed guards were also there. They formed a cordon to protect Kate Middleton from a scrum of photographers outside the South Kensington nightspot.
The dramatic escalation in protection comes amid Palace concerns about the large number of paparazzi following her wherever she goes.
Four policemen were stationed outside her Chelsea home yesterday. A further two followed her in a patrol car to her office in Kew where she works as a fashion buyer for Jigsaw.
Kate, who is 25 on Tuesday, and 24-year-old William, arrived at Boujis at about midnight. By the time they left about three hours later more than a dozen paparazzi were waiting.

Oh dear..... and they're not even engaged yet. Hope this won't be another Princess Di incident.
London - Prince Harry, the 22-year-old grandson of Queen Elizabeth II, will be sent to fight in Iraq, his girlfriend has reportedly said.
Chelsy Davy, 21, is reported by the tabloid Sun newspaper as having told friends that she had her own travel plans for a trip around the world because Harry would be 'off to war.'
The prince, the younger son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana, joined the Blues and Royals elite regiment after completing his officer training at Sandhurst military academy earier this year.
Harry has himself said that he wants 'to fight alongside' his men. 
Chelsy, who is from Zimbabwe and has just completed university in South Africa, told friends she hoped her travel plans for next year would help her to 'take her mind of Harry' while he would be 'right in the danger zone.'
Officially, the Ministry of Defence insists that a final decision about whether second lieutenant Harry will be allowed to fight in Iraq has yet to be made. 
The Prince has always said he is determined to do battle with his 100-strong unit, A Squadron of the Blues and Royals, part of the Household Cavalry.
They begin a six-month tour of Iraq in the spring. Before that, they are expected to take part in war games and exhaustive preparations for conflict.

Princes William and Harry today revealed their plans for a moving, double tribute to their mother marking the 10th anniversary of her death.
Speaking about their plans for the first time the princes officially announced two major events next year to celebrate Princess Diana's life.
They have given the go-ahead for a memorial service on 31 August to be held in London. It will be preceded by a tribute concert on her birthday involving such stars as Sir Elton John.
Prince William said today: "We both wanted to put our stamp on it. We want it to represent exactly what our mother would have wanted; how she was and all that sort of thing. So therefore the church service alone isn't enough.
"We wanted to have this big concert with, you know, full of energy, full of the sort of fun and happiness which I know she would have wanted.
"It's got to be the best birthday present she ever had. The main purpose is to celebrate and to have fun and to remember her in a fun way." Prince William added: "We've decided that it's going to be called Concert for Diana, because obviously the evening is going to be purely about her. It's to remember her and to celebrate her life." 
Prince Harry said: "The service is going to include both sides of the family, our mother's side and our father's side - everyone getting together. It should be a good occasion and lots of loud hymns, I Vow To Thee My Country, all the good ones."
The Concert for Diana will be held at Wembley Stadium and hosted by the princes. Artists already booked for the 1 July concert include Sir Elton , Duran Duran, Bryan Ferry, Pharrell Williams, The English National Ballet, Joss Stone and Andrew Lloyd Webber, who will stage a medley of songs from some of his West End shows. It will raise money for Centrepoint, a homeless charity of which William is patron, and Sentebale, an AIDS charity based in Lesotho, set up by Harry in memory of his mother. Prince William and Prince Harry have invited the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, as well as Lady Sarah McCorquodale, Lady Jane Fellowes and Earl Spencer.
• Tickets, priced £45, will be made available from 9am tomorrow via the website www.concertfordiana.com.
