Prince William's Personal Years

Prince William became 26 on June, 21. 2008.

Recently, he started 5 weeks of training in the navy abroad and next year, he will become a full time royal member. So he will face more duties related to that new status.

As an important public individual, his behaviour and his future are great subjects of talking and writing.
Since his childhood, he has been under people's scrutinity and it is unlikely that people's interest for him will fade through the years.

Last year, Prince William experienced very rude press articles, maybe for the first time of his public life.
Since 2007, he has been highly critisized regarding his supposed lack of commitment in his duties and his on-off relationship with Miss Kate Middleton.

Career and Love life are the angular pieces of our life; and when they are subjects of criticism, it is easy to face feelings of resentment or failure.
I can imagine how hard it is to cope with people's criticism and scrutinity when you are a young grown-up man, who is still building up your identity and perhaps still looking for the way you will express your talents and abilities.
Life is about growing up and growing up implies outer and inner transformations, successes and failures.

20's are THE period of great transformations for any individual.
It is time to quit our parents's home, to define who we are and what we want, to find a career that suits us best, to meet and (perhaps) to commit with someone.

In brief, 20's are a period in which big choices have to be made...big choices that will greatly conditions our life and that cannot be made without deep questionings.

I found so funny to read articles about Prince William's relationship with Miss Kate Middleton, clearly pushing him to commit and marry his girlfriend now because :
1) Miss Middleton has been his on-off girlfriend for 5 years now,
2) He has invited her to some significant events and so on.

Why we can't let the guy alone to figure out what he really wants?!
Commiting with someone, overall in his position, is certainly the most important decision he will do in his life!
