Intersting article. Yes, what does the "heir to the heir" do with his life while he is waiting for his "real job"?

Guess there is no real urgency for him to assume full royal duties after all. In a way it's a blessing--he can do alot of good for alot of people through philanthropy in the meantime.

I agree, it really could be a blessing more than a curse.  It's a unique position and I hope he can explore other facets of life, beyond the royal duties and create a role for himself that's not totally dictated by royal protocol.

I don't think he'll be overshadowed by Diana's memory - I think he has the potential to be a real "star" in the royal family, unlike Charles.  But I do think he'll always be seen as Diana's son.  :happytears:

I agree. He will have a lot to do to come out of his mother's shadow.
