Prince William 'would join front line'

William, who is in his final year of geography studies at Scotland's St. Andrew's University, said he wasn't sure what he would do when he finished studying but he had considered the military.

The eldest son of Prince Charles said he would consider following in the footsteps of his younger brother Harry, who will enroll at Sandhurst military academy next year.

The prince said being second in line to the throne would present problems if his unit was sent into action, but he wouldn't want to be held back.

"The last thing I want to do is be mollycoddled or wrapped up in cotton wool because if I was to join the army I'd want to go where my men went and I'd want to do what they did," William said in an interview with Britain's Press Association and the BBC.

"I would not want to be kept back for being precious, or whatever, that's the last thing I'd want."

The prince, who is off limits to the British press when on campus at St. Andrews, revealed how he was reveling in leading a normal life out of the public eye.

"I've spent 22 years being in the spotlight. You don't really know much different, but I value the normality I can get, doing simple things, doing normal things."

He spoke of drinking vodka shots at 9:30 a.m. as part of a university antic and being stopped in a street by a lady who, apparently not recognizing him, asked if he knew a good place to buy underwear.

Despite a recent public appearance attending a Remembrance Sunday service with his father, William said he would not rush into public duties.

"It's not that I never want to do it, it's just that I'm reluctant at such a young age, I think anyway, to throw myself into the deep end."

But he said he did plan to work with AIDS charities in Africa -- a cause closely associated with his late mother, Princess Diana.
