Prince William has taken time out from his family holiday in Klosters to give a candid interview about his personal life. Speaking to a journalist in the Alpine ski resort, the heir to the throne spoke openly about his much talked about relationship with fellow student Kate Middleton.

Asked whether he might follow in his father's footsteps by taking a walk down the aisle, Wills insisted he was in no hurry to make his vows. "Look, I'm only 22 for God's sake," he affirmed. "I am too young to marry at my age. I don't want to get married until I'm at least 28 or 30."

The second in line also opened his heart about the media pressure on his younger brother. "Harry's a great lad," he said. "He gets such a hard time from the press. The image people have of him is nothing like the real thing. He's young and very fun loving. You only have to look at how popular he is to see how people who know him adore him."

Wills went on to reveal his sibling had a hard time coping with the constant interest in his relationship with South African student Chelsy Davy. "He's just a young lad who's madly in love," explained the handsome royal.
