Heartbreaking way Prince William wanted to protect ‘mummy’ Diana when he was little

One royal expert revealed that Prince William had his eye on a very different career as he wanted to protect his mother – and it seems Prince George is also interested

Ever since Prince William was born, his entire life has been mapped out for him. It was known from the first moment that he would one day succeed his father and later rule the country as the king – meaning there is very little room for personal preferences.

Despite Prince William’s life being laid out in front of him, there was once a time when he fancied a very different career for himself and the sweet reason behind it is all to do with his late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales

Diana’s biographer Andrew Morton backed up the claim when he wrote about a conversation Diana had with William and Harry. He said: “William and Harry were aware of their destiny. On one occasion the boys were discussing their futures with Diana.

“‘When I grow up I want to be a policeman and look after you Mummy,’ said William. Quick as a flash Harry replied, with a note of triumph in his voice, ‘Oh no you can’t, you’ve got to be king’,” Morton continued.

It seems the dream of being a policeman runs in the family as Prince William once revealed that Prince George was also “obsessed” with the police.

At a reception at Kensington Palace in honour of Scotland Yard, Police Commissioner Jayne Richardson told William that more officers were needed in the area. She quipped: “We are recruiting, actually, so if George and Charlotte are keen?” Prince William laughed and replied: “[George] is obsessed, actually, by the police… cars, toys, everything.”

George’s interest in the police had been revealed the previous year when Prince William personally handed his son’s Christmas list to Santa Claus. The list only had one request written on it… a police car!

Meanwhile, George’s younger sister Princess Charlotte has reportedly expressed interest in becoming a nurse, after her father explained to her and her two brothers about all of the work NHS staff do.

According to New Idea, Palace insiders explained how Charlotte had told her parents that she hoped to become a nurse in the future.

The insider said: “She’s obviously just a little kid but still, William and Kate swelled with pride. She’s such a caring little girl who also knows what she wants, so they wouldn’t be surprised if she does take on nursing as one of her big causes when she’s older.”
