Prince William talks about importance of family time
The London News.Net
Tuesday 16th March, 2010 (ANI)
Prince William has shared his view on how important family time is, after a youngster approached him for help on getting away early from school on Fridays.
William, 27, gently informed Lana, a year six at Newnham Croft Primary School in Cambridgeshire, who had raised the issue, that he cannot intervene with school rules to help her.
But he also added that her thoughts on family time are very valuable.
"Although Prince William can see your point of view, and can appreciate the important points you make, unfortunately he has no authority to make these changes in your school, or any other school, and I think this would be a matter for your teachers and head teacher to discuss together, and with the parents," the Telegraph quoted one of the prince's aides as telling her.
"Prince William noted, in particular, your thoughts that time spent with one's family in order to talk about anything that scares or worries you is indeed an incredibly valuable use of time.
"Even if the hours are not made shorter at your school on Fridays, it is always worth making special 'family time' to discuss anything, good or bad, with those closest to you and who love you dearly," the aide added. (ANI)  Email this story to a friend

Former Australian cricket captain and noted television commentator Richie Benaud has said that he would prefer a Test match where the battle between bat and ball is on an equal footing, as in the case of England versus Pakistan, as opposed to a match "where only 17 wickets are taken and almost 1,500 runs are made in 29 hours of a Test match", as in the case of India versus Sri Lanka in Colombo this week.
