Similary, Prince William has endured rather than enjoyed the attentions of the
media.
But could that be about to change, for the future king whose every move
makes headlines across the globe looks set to experience for himself the blood, sweat and tears which go
into producing a daily newspaper in Britain.
Courtiers at Clarence House – an establishment which has itself become
something of a byword for 'spin' – are reported to be considering whether
William should go on work experience with newspaper journalists.
Such a short-term move for the prince would be in line with the attachments on which he's currently embarked with the military as part of his training for his future role as King.
Flying Officer William Wales is
currently learning to fly at RAF Cranwell, following which he'll spend several weeks with the Royal Navy.
Revealing details of what is an intriguing plan of action for William's immediate future, a royal insider tells Saturday’s Guardian newspaper: "I think it would be a good idea for him to
find out how the media works. It's something I would like to see him do."
"He's
learned about the armed forces, now he has to learn about the state."
