How many minutes did Uncle Eddie last in the armed forces? |
Theres Wills in the Sun, standing in line with a bunch of other Army wannabes dressed in green overalls with matching tin pots on their heads.
Its not a good look for the future King, who, as the paper says, resembles a member of the bungling Dads Army platoon.
The reason for this ensemble is that Wills is taking his test at the Regular Commission Board selection centre in Westbury, Wiltshire. The young prince will have to pass a series of gruelling physical challenges if he is to join his younger brother at Sandhurst.
So heres Wills in the Mail trying to keep his balance on a plank.
But dont worry. This is Prince William. He is, as the Mail says, expected to pass. After all, if Uncle Eddie can get into the Marines, the selection policy for the Armed forces cant be all that stringent.
And after performing 44 press-ups and 50 sit-ups, both in two minutes, a one-and-a-half mile run in ten and completing tests to investigate his knowledge of current affairs and Army history Wills was in good shape.
He emerged as a natural leader and helped carry the group through, says an instructor to the Sun. In our eyes he was top of the class.
And with only the art history module to go, Wills is a shoo-in for a career in the Army…’
