William to be regent prince

This is a timely and smart strategy on the part of Buckingham Palace:
Britain's Queen Elizabeth is grooming her grandson Prince William to become the face of the British Royal Family.

The monarch reportedly plans to hand over the majority of her public duties to the 24-year-old prince over a three-year period.

According to Britain's The People newspaper William's name has already started appearing in the Court Circular, the index of the royal family's engagements, indicating that his involvement will increase when he completes his training at Sandhurst Military Academy in December.

The source added: "It is a clear sign, as his days as an Army cadet come to an end, that his role as the future king will grow significantly."

William's father Prince Charles will still succeed the queen as king, but it is thought that his son will be the real "jewel in the royal crown."

The source said: "Charles has a substantial ego. But even when he succeeds he will have to accept William is the public's favourite."
