William Wales: Prince, Pilot...Pressman?! PDF Print E-mail
Written by Joanne Leyland   
Saturday, 02 February 2008

Interestingly, although it's suggested that he'll take up a role in a newspaper office rather than with a TV news station such as the BBC, Sky News or ITN, William does have connections with the latter.

Both William and Harry became close to Nicholas Owen's successor as ITN Royal Correspondent, Tom Bradby.


It was Bradby who became an unwitting player in the scandal which saw the Royal Correspondent of the News of The World, Clive Goodman, jailed for tapping into the mobile phones of Clarence House aides.



Bradby, who'd previously travelled with Prince Harry for an ITV special documenting his work in Lesotho, had been in touch with William after the prince asked if he could borrow some video editing equipment.

It was details of this conversation which later appeared in Goodman's News of The World column, prompting William to fear that the royal phones were being tapped.




There's one person in particular who may hope that it is the medium of television rather than the printed word that attracts the second-in-line to the throne in the months ahead.

With the Prince of Wales expected to embark later this year on his first skiing holiday since 2005, it would be understandable if the BBC's Court Correspondent, Nicholas Witchell, were keen to have Charles; eldest son by his side to protect him from any more withering comments about that "awful man"!

I think it's an excellent idea. William already worked in a bank; perhaps he could try his hand at Parliament as a staffer or be an intern for the Prime Minister. It would all give him a background in the people he will regularly see as Monarch.
