HRH Prince WilliamThis site would like to offer congratulations to HRH Prince William, upon the news that he has passed the entrance exams and will be joining his younger brother Prince Harry at Sandhurst military academy.
Wiliam will become the most senior member of the royal family in recent history to attend the officer training college in Camberley, Surrey.
.
The tests took place at the Regular Commissions Board, in Westbury, Wiltshire and at least half of those taking the tests are not expected to make the grade.
.
Prince William arrived at the camp on Tuesday morning and was soon engaged in a series of gym based tests.
.
He had to perform 44-press ups and 50 sit-ups, both within two minutes. Next up was a mile and a half run, to be completed in ten minutes or less.
.
A series of written tests followed, on subjects such as Army history, current affairs and general knowledge.
.
The second day consisted mainly of interviews, when William would have been expected to impress the top brass.
.
Yesterday, along with 21 others, William tackled the assault course, which included a variety of team-based tasks, such as swinging on ropes with heavy equipment and balancing on planks.
.
The test concluded this morning with a dawn run and soon afterwards it was announced by Clarence House that William had successfully completed his application.
.
" I am absolutely delighted to have got over the first hurdle but I am only too well aware, having spoken so much to Harry, that this is just the beginning. I am really looking forward to taking my place alongide all the other cadets at Sandhurst." , was Prince William's reported reaction.
.
It is expected that William will attend Sandhurst from January 2006 and we here at veryBritishsubjects would like to wish him every success.
