Prince William is reportedly going to train as a journalist after he completes his military duties later this year.

According to the Sunday Mirror, William will take a “work experience” placement at a national newspaper as part of his education before beginning his royal public duties full time.

A royal source told the newspaper: “As part of his overall education it is felt William should have an understanding of how the media works.”

“However I think you could rule out any chance of him being asked to write about his girlfriend Kate Middleton.”

William, the second in line to the throne after his dad Prince Charles, graduated from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in 2006 and is currently training with the RAF to become a pilot before starting a short stint with the Royal Navy.
