Prince William
These are his best friends
Who are Prince William’s friends outside the British royal family? GALA will show you
In his spare time, Prince William surrounds himself with people, some of whom he has known since childhood. No wonder, as the future king of the United Kingdom, friendship must be carefully chosen. “You have always been very careful about friendship and have kept trust very important,” said Richard Kay, Royal Correspondent of the Daily Mail, about William and Kate. You can see below who William’s longtime companions were.
William and Hugh van Kutsam
William and Hugh van Couetteum are the sons of landowner and businessman Hugh van Kutssem Sr., who died in 2013 and was a college friend of Prince Charles of his time at Cambridge University (1967 to 1970). William van Kutssem is considered to be Prince William’s best friend and is the godfather of Prince George. The two Williams go through ups and downs simultaneously. Hugh van Coote is the elder brother of William and is also close friends with the prince. Their daughter Grace was a flower girl on 29 April 2011 at the wedding of William and Duchess Catherine and gained international fame for covering her ears during a wedding kiss in the balcony of Buckingham Palace. Prince William is the godfather of the girl.
James meade
James Mead studied at Eton College with Prince William. James lives near Yad Hall in the homeland of Norfolk Cambridge with his wife Lady Laura Meade. On the day of William and Kate’s wedding, James played an important role, the so-called “usher”. Functions: To greet guests, distribute programs, and accompany people to their seats. Preparation of the ceremony is also a part of DOS. Along with Thomas van Strabenzi, another friend of William van, James also spoke about the bride and groom. James Princess is also the godfather of Charlotte – a sign of how closely connected he is to William.
Thomas von Strabenji
Thomas is one of Williams’ closest and longest-lasting friends. He already went to preschool with her. At the royal wedding in 2011, von Strabenji – along with James Meade – was also used as “Usher”. Thomas Princess is the godfather of Charlotte.
Oliver baker
Oliver Baker is a friend of William and Kate and met them at St. Andrews University. He was one of two friends who shared a home with the Duke and Duchess at the university for the past two years. The friendship continues to this day.
Guy Pelli
Guy Pelley has known Prince William since childhood: his mother, Lady Caroline Herbert, was a close friend of the late Princess Diana. At first glance, the prince’s confidant is not a man for royal circles, as he has a wild past: he was the owner of the fashionable London nightclub Mayfair, where William and Harry also regularly celebrate. British landowner children also managed Whiskey Mist and Tonteria clubs. The cow has a bad reputation in the British media; “Bad Boy” is said to have brought Prince Harry to one or another difficulty. Guy Pelley also drew attention several times for crimes occurring in traffic. This did not affect his friendship with William: in July 2018 Guy Pelli became Prince Louis’ godfather.
Harry Aubrey-Fletcher
According to “The Sun”, Harry Aubrey-Fletcher is also a longtime friend of William and is said to have met him in preschool. The two later went to Eton College together. There is another royal affair, however: Harry’s father is Queen Elizabeth’s personal representative in Buckinghamshire. In 2011, William played the role of “Usher” at the wedding of Harry Aubrey-Fletcher and his girlfriend Louise. William returned family honors by making Harry the godfather of Prince Louis in 2018.
