Queen ‘ropes in Three Wise Men to prepare Prince William for throne’
By ANISunday, January 31, 2010
LONDON - Queen Elizabeth II has reportedly roped in top Royal officials, dubbed the Three Wise Men, to train her grandson William for the British throne.
The Monarch was said to have called in career diplomat Sir David Manning, her former private secretary Lord Janvrin and her new top aide Christopher Geidt to up the prince’s public performance.
Manning will reportedly teach the second in line to the throne about diplomacy and world affairs, while Janvrin will take care of the charity role. Geidt will teach the 27-year-old about strategy and the functioning of the monarchy, reports the News of the World.
But caution was being taken not to overshadow Prince Charles, the heir apparent, sources claimed.
A source said: “It is a difficult balancing act. We’ve never had a monarch, an heir to the throne and the second in line to the throne all competing before.” (ANI)
