Prince William has given the media a rare glimpse
into his everyday life as a university student, revealing he is just like any
other undergraduate living off a diet of sweets and crisps.
 The pin-up prince ¡ª the most glamorous royal with pop star
good looks ¡ª invited members of the press to join him as he ambled down the main
high street in St. Andrews, Scotland, to the local shops.
Despite being the most famous student in Britain, passers-by took little
notice of the 21-year-old as he visited the Good News store where he used his
own cash to buy a pint of milk, a packet of sea salt and cracked black pepper
crisps, a bag of Maltesers and a Milky Bar.
¡°People down here think he is quite down to earth. Two or three people in the
shop didn¡¯t even notice he was in here,¡± shop assistant Jennifer Murray said.
The eldest son of heir-to-the-throne Prince Charles said he was looking
forward to the Christmas holidays and seeing his younger brother Harry, who is
in Australia as part of his year off between school and an army career.
¡°I'm going to buy him something special because he¡¯s been away for three
months,¡± the prince said.
