*****

Regarding their tastes in music:

PRINCE CHARLES: I enjoy the jazz, yes. But these two play this stuff and I'm sitting there going (mimics head banging) downstairs somewhere the whole place (laughter).

ANT: It's just like houses up and down the country, turn that racket down!

HARRY: It varies a bit.

PRINCE WILLIAM: I'd say his (referring to Harry) is pretty shocking, but mine is good. Apart from that, we tend to like pretty much the same music, yeah.

*****

Regarding their tastes in television:

ANT: Have you guys got the same sense of humor; do you watch the same comedy programs?

WILLIAM: Yes we tend to mostly, we like the same sort of things. Although there's usually an argument over the remote control at home about who watches what, that usually goes on for quite a while.

****

Regarding "American Idol":

PRINCE HARRY: He won't admit it (points to William) but we did both watch it

HARRY: The cut offs were so good, yeah, the auditions (laughter).

*****

Regarding The Princes Trust:

CHARLES: Everybody has something I think and it's just that business of giving them self-confidence and self esteem. And funnily enough, when you do that it gives them enormous encouragement and motivation, suddenly they realize they can do things that they never thought they could and suddenly particularly people you know who've been offenders for instance, again, their lives can be completely transformed, much to everybody's amazement.

ANT: William and Harry, do you feel as strongly as your father does about the trust?

WILLIAM: Yeah, definitely. It'd be nice in the future if we can both get a bit more involved in it and help out.
