Prince William has a 'wicked sense of humour' and is at peace with his royal future, friend says

The Duke of Cambridge is at peace with his future as a royal, friends say, despite his brother Harry cutting ties with the family and embarking on a new life.

Prince William, the second in line to the throne, has always cut a more reserved figure than his younger brother. But it is his sense of duty that continues to drive him and keeps him motivated for his future as King, his long-term mentor Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton told the Daily Mail.

"He hasn’t rubbed his hands in glee [at what is to come], but has looked at it in a dutiful way," said Lowther-Pinkerton. "One of the lovely things I remember early on was this sense of disbelief that people were really interested in who he was or what he was doing."
