Prince William Reveals The 5 People He’d Turned To If He Was In Trouble, Super Posse Rivals ‘The Avengers’
On Monday, Prince William visited west London’s Hammersmith Academy to learn both how the Diana Award was helping Anti-Bullying Pro, a charity designed to ward off bullies.
In the process, the Duke of Cambridge was asked to take part in an anti-bullying training session alongside a variety of school pupils. This saw him write down a list of people that he believes would be in his corner in a fight.
According to the Express, William’s list of names was, as you probably could have guessed, rather formidable, as the second in line to the Royal throne wrote, “Catherine, Harry, Father, Grandmother, and Grandfather,” while he also cheekily added his pet cocker spaniel Lupo, too, but only in brackets.
Clearly, Prince William has a lot of close friends and family in high places. That’s what happens when you are the second in line to the British monarchy.
And his list of names, which broke down as the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton, Prince Harry, the Prince of Wales Prince Charles, Queen Elizabeth II, and Prince Philip, would probably have enough power to even challenge The Avengers. Well, probably not in a bout, as three-fifths of his posse are well over 60. But you get my point.
While at this royal engagement, Prince William also spoke out about homophobic discrimination during his speech, admitting that he would intervene if he witnessed such treatment.
“I would try to confront, to tackle the person, I usually find myself right in the middle of problems so that’s pretty much where I’d be,” he said to the crowd.
The Diana Award is the only charity that bears that name of his later mother, Princess Diana, who died in a car crash in 1997. You can check out images of Prince William at this event below.
