Second in the line of succession to the British throne, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, shares a very typical relationship with his grandmother, the Queen. Her approval is very important to him. Like his mother before him, he is extensively involved in philanthropic work. However, he requests people not to expect either him or his wife to fill his mother’s shoes, as they have set out to build their future. As a member of the royal family, he understands that he represents the United Kingdom and its people on the global stage and strives to inspire others with his personality and actions. Along with Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, he is the doting parent of three children. Here is a collection of memorable quotes by Prince William on life, love, caring, beauty, relationship, family and marriage.
