As those of you who joined us for Will’s stag night will know, the Windsor name will open the doors to the most exclusive venues in the world … the VIP rooms at Stringfellows, Sunset Strip, Secrets, White Rhino, the list goes on and on …Īnd by the way, Uncle Andrew, I haven’t forgotten the two grand you owe me. Five times Mum sat through Joe Pasquale at the Royal Variety Performance … Five.īut it’s not all doom and gloom being a Royal. I would remind you of a certain family matriarch whose decision to sit put in London - in what must count among the city’s darkest hours - gained her the admiration of a nation. In the years to come, she may sometimes have to rise to grave challenges. In joining our family, Kate takes on the responsibilities not just of a wife, but of a future Queen. “You’ll have to wait,” I replied, “There are still two or three local birds in the keep that I haven’t finished with yet.” “I’m bringing her home, Harry,” he told me, “This one’s a keeper.” I remember him calling me up at Windsor Castle to say that he’d met this amazing girl. It was at Uni, of course, that Will first got close to Kate. Not bad for a boy who grew up in state accommodation … and still lives on benefits. He excelled at school, made it into a top university, and later aced his pilot’s test for the RAF. He was a bright and hard-working student. In truth, of the two of us William’s always been the goodie goodie. Seriously, though, this speech would’ve been so much easier if you had a past like mine. And it’s not going to get any better now you’re married, is it? But I must admit, when the Groom is the heir to the throne the task of writing a Best Man’s speech is a particularly daunting one.Įager to observe the tradition of gentle character assassination, I started my speech by writing a list of all the wild times from the last ten years – the strip clubs, the drug dens, the dodgy mates, the public gaffes … William! Where were you, bro? Always too busy. My lords, ladies and gentlemen, when William asked me to be his Best Man I was, of course, honoured to accept. Not that I think I should really have to say that, but after that bloke got fined for Tweeting about blowing up Robin Hood Airport, you can’t be too careful.) (Legal note – no it isn’t, this is very obviously all a joke.
