Some Detail of Prince William

Prince William is the elder son of The Prince of Wales and the lady Diana, Princess of Wales. On 29 April 2011, following his marriage to Catherine Middleton, the title The Duke of Cambridge was conferred on him by The Queen.

He was born at 9.03pm on 21 June 1982, at St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, London. A bulletin announced that the Royal baby weighed 7lb 1 1/2oz.

On 4 August 1982, Prince William Arthur Philip Louis was christened by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Robert Runcie, in the Music Room at Buckingham Palace.

After attending Mrs Mynors School, Prince William became a pupil at Wetherby School in London, from 15 January 1987 until 5 July 1990.

From September 1990, The Prince attended Ludgrove School in Berkshire, for 5 years until 5 July 1995. He then attended Eton College from July 1995 and studied Geography, Biology and History of Art at A Level.

Prince William was 15 years old when Diana, Princess of Wales was killed in a car crash in Paris on 31 August 1997. Prince William and Prince Harry walked behind their mother’s cortege at her funeral which was held at Westminster Abbey on 6 September 1997.

After a gap year in which he visited Chile, Belize, worked on British dairy farms and visited countries in Africa, Prince William chose to study at St Andrews University in Fife, Scotland. He graduated with a 2:1 in Geography in 2005.

After a period of work experience, Prince William joined the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst as an Officer Cadet.

He was commissioned as an army officer in front of Her Majesty the Queen at Sandhurst in December 2006 and joined the Household Cavalry (Blues and Royals) as a 2nd Lieutenant.

He went on to train as an RAF Search and Rescue Pilot with the RAF, graduating as a fully operational pilot in September 2010. The Prince will now carry out his operational service as Co-Pilot of a Sea King Mk3 helicopter. He will be part of a four-person crew.

At the same time, Prince William is President or Patron to a number of charities and organizations whose work he wishes to support.

On St George's Day (23 April 2008) The Queen appointed Prince William to be a Royal Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter. He was installed at The Annual Garter ceremony held at Windsor Castle.

Some Great Father’s Day gift idea.

On Dad’s Day, it seems that dads just want to chill out and relax – maybe be a couch potato watching sports on TV or a beach bum sprawled out in the sand. Perhaps a round of golf is his goal or a few sets of tennis. Whatever way he wants to spend his special day, there are terrific choices for special gifts guaranteed to please him.


Some gift for Dad’s Day


Strengthen His Golf Game:

You may never understand why he gets up at the crack of dawn to hit that little ball around the course, but you love him anyway. Golf smith has all the essentials for a golf-loving dad, and you can still get a much appreciated gift without knowing a lot about the sport.

General Manager Brad Choppering thinks the most popular gifts are the more basic ones.
"Easy Dad’s Day gifts are golf balls, shirts or gift cards," he said. "If you know certain things, you can move onto the golf clubs."

So why does dad enjoy the game? According to Choppering, there are many reasons.
"You get to spend time with your friends and spend time outside," he said. "Also, men always enjoy a challenge and trying to master something. You can never really master golf, so it's always a good challenge."

Just don't be around him when his ball makes a beeline for the water ... again.

Keep in Happy, and Caffeinated:

Instead of watching Dad re-heat that same cup of Folgers all day, get him some quality whole-bean coffee from Caribou Coffee so he can sip in style. Caribou offers a variety of coffee, so check with Mom to see if he prefers a lighter or darker roast. Caribou also sells mugs and tumblers. A Twins tumbler and a bag of beans is the perfect gift for a dad-on-the-go.
Currently, Caribou Coffee is running a Dad’s Day promotion: If you spend $30 on dad, you get a coupon for a free medium drink for yourself.

A great bonus that helps you keep Dad happy and get yourself an iced mocha as a reward.


Beers and Bowling:

Dads need their "Me Time," too. Treat him to a night out with the guys, or pick up the tab on a game with just the two of you at Lariat Lanes. In addition to league nights, Lariat Lanes offers open bowling and great food - so Dad won't leave hungry.

Gift certificates are available in any amount and can be used for anything at Lariat Lanes. So if you feel like popping for a round of beer, too, you can do that with the certificate. Manager Brandi James thinks a gift card will give your dad a much-needed chance to get out of the house, as she witnesses with some of the league bowlers.

"A lot of it has to do with getting away from the wives and children for a night," she said. "It's their night out [and] it's fun to socialize with other men, too."

Computer Care:

Everyone has a computer these days; even people who aren't quite ready for the 21st century. This may include your dad. The worst part is, he'll still think he can fix it when things go haywire. To avoid a headache, get Dad a package from Chip Heads that he can use to prevent computer viruses and future expletives.

Chip Heads manager Chuck Whitney notices that a lot of men first try to fix things on their own.
"[Men try to fix things because of] control and frugality," Whitney said. "Why pay someone to do something you should be able to do yourself? Fixing things is man's work."

When that doesn't work, Chip Heads' Virus Protection Package will come in handy. For $288 a year, Dad will benefit from unlimited virus cleaning. While there are ways to protect against viruses, it is inevitable that some infections will sneak through and the package will take care of any excess bugs.

Go in with a sibling on this gift and Dad will be sure to thank you; right after you teach him how to use Google, one more time.

Let Him Kick-Up His Feet:

There's nothing many fathers love more than kicking up their feet and relaxing the afternoon away in front of the game. Though he may love his old recliner, he could probably use a newer and cleaner one.

Dave's Furniture World offers recliners at a discount from most retail rates. Get him one with a cup holder, or a personalized Vikings chair. Dave's will deliver so you won't even need to borrow Dad's truck to get the armchair home. Set it up for Sunday afternoon and have your dad test it out with a nap on his special day.

Plus, we all know there's no better time to hit up Dad for cash than when he's in a relaxing half-nap!
