Extract of Williams end of tour statement.
In his end of tour statement, William said that while he was ‘committed to service’, that involved ‘not telling people what to do’. ‘It is about serving and supporting them in whatever way they think best, by using the platform we are lucky to have.' The Duke added: ‘Foreign tours are an opportunity to reflect. You learn so much. What is on the minds of Prime Ministers. The hopes and ambitions of school children. The day-to-day challenges faced by families and communities. ‘I know that this tour has brought into even sharper focus questions about the past and the future. ‘In Belize, Jamaica and The Bahamas, that future is for the people to decide upon. ‘But we have thoroughly enjoyed spending time with communities in all three countries, understanding more about the issues that matter most to them.’ A senior royal insider indicated that William’s statement indicated the 39-year-old Prince was ‘coming of age’. ‘He was showing that he understands that it can’t be taken for granted that he will lead the Commonwealth – you serve as long as the people want you to serve, you listen, accept their choices and change if you need to. ‘This is about a modern Monarchy.’ The Telegraph ........................ If only Diana had been alive to see her boy develop into this very impressive man.
