William back home
NZPA London
A suntanned Prince William arrived back in London yesterday with his two nannies after his sixweek visit with his parents to Australia and New Zealand.
Prince William, aged 10 months, looked straight into a barrage of photographers’ clicking lenses as he was carried down the steps of the aircraft which brought him 20,300 km from Auckland by way of Los Angeles. His parents, Prince Charles and Princess Diana, sent William home while they went to the Bahamas for what aides called a 10day “second honeymoon” after the tour, the longest taken by the Princess since
she married Prince Charles
in July, 1981. Prince William, in white romper suit and sweater, was carried by his chief nanny, Miss Barbara Barnes, to a waiting limousine and taken to his parents’ London home, Kensington Palace. The trip was the first time Prince William had left Britain. The Prince was unlikely to accompany his parents on their 17 day tour of Canada, a Palace official said on Saturday.
“But a final decision has yet to be made,” Prince Charles’s press secretary, Mr Vic Chapman, said in Auckland before the Royal couple’s departure for the Bahamas.
