Britain’s Prince William says he is looking forward to making friends from all walks of life--including anti-monarchists--when he becomes a student.
The prince is to begin an undergraduate course in art history at Scotland’s St. Andrews University on Monday.
The son of Princess Diana and Prince Charles also said in a newspaper interview that working on a farm was his best experience during a “gap year” after leaving school.
