The celebrations that accompany the young Prince's graduation will also be tinged with sadness, as this summer Wills bid adieu to the campus in the knowledge he will not be returning next autumn. For the past four years the Fife town has offered him a friendly and welcoming environment in which to pursue his studies, largely free from press intrusion.
Prince Charles' son says he has enjoyed the opportunity to take in a movie or simply step out and buy a few groceries without being besieged by photographers and fans. He will also remember the ancient town for being the place where he met girlfriend Kate Middleton. The couple first set eyes on each other when they began studying history of art in 2001 and, although William switched to geography in his second year, they have remained inseparable ever since. It seems likely St Andrews will also miss its royal resident, since the "Prince William" effect, as it has come to be known, has helped boost both tourism and university applications.
