Prince William’s Classmate Recalls ‘Policeman’ Answer as Pundits Tie Memory to Fresh Harry Speculation

Royal watchers are using the lighthearted recollection to frame unconfirmed talk of negotiations over Prince Harry’s return.

Overview

  • Actor and comedian Humphrey Ker says a young Prince William once told classmates he wanted to be a policeman, drawing laughs because his path to the throne seemed set.
  • Ker, who attended Ludgrove and later Eton with William, recounted the story to the Telegraph, and multiple UK outlets highlighted it on November 17.
  • Royal photographer Ian Pelham Turner suggested Prince Andrew’s departure from Windsor could accelerate discussions that might ease Harry’s way back.
  • Prince Harry’s recent Remembrance Day essay said Britain “is, and always will be, the country I proudly served and fought for,” a line commentators viewed as signaling affection for the UK.
  • Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told Fox News the essay emphasized Harry’s status as an exile, but there has been no official confirmation of any return or reconciliation.
