Prince William: 'I don't lie awake waiting to be king' BBC News

On the eve of the Queen's 90th birthday on Thursday, the next but one king - Prince William - has been speaking to the BBC about his grandmother, his interpretation of "royal duty" and recent criticisms that he is a somewhat "reluctant royal".
The prince also told the BBC's Royal Correspondent Nicholas Witchell about his own ambitions for the monarchy when he finally succeeds to the throne.

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.

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.

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 ~

THE QUEEN CAN BE PROUD KNOWING WILLIAM WILL MAKE A TRUE LOYAL KING ONE DAY. SUCH A WONDERFUL NATURE

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 just love William. He is a good guy. God bless him.

"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.

[WORLDNSHKNIGHT]

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.

[Penny-btgc]

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.

[BrodyMulligan]

He’s got his mum’s compassion. He will be a Great King.

[MC-dodw]

He is a blessing to the United Kingdom, and so is Duchess Catherine.

[jaelkalashnikov]

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!

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.

[Elizabeth-sozp]

He looks just like Diana.
What an intelligent man. And his voice, sooo beautiful!

[bulouvusonawalowalo]

Really respect the calm and wise answers from Prince William. From the Fiji islands, May God bless the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

[maggymay]

Prince William is a well spoken, articulate young man.He is the epitome  of a future King.

[michmerry]

Prince William is a credit to his family, my favourite royal!

[maya]

Since I have known William I get good Vibes. There's a lot of positive Energy in him.

[leeyoona]

His blush at the end of interview just reminds me of his beautiful mother. And yes he will be an honourable monarch.

[marilynwoolford-chandler]

I found this older man interviewing William thoroughly annoying. I'm amazed at how well William answers.
There's steel in that backbone.
