I first offered to chat live with visitors in July 2000. I had taken my e-mail address off the site that Spring, and people seemed to have stopped leaving messages for Prince William in my guestbook. Had the penny finally dropped?

When I was offline, people could leave messages and I sent back flippant replies. I genuinely intended to chat with visitors about the site, but inevitably, I ended up with a new (fourth? fifth?) generation of emails for William.

I consider it my duty to share with you here some of the chats and offline messages, and my often exasperated responses. I have not included the few sensible and interesting chats I had with visitors, and deleted many many boring or silly messages that were almost identical to the tripe you can read in William's inbox and the feedback.

Please let me be you're pretty princess. I can ride a horse! But my parents say you're too old but just by 11 years.

Visitor: hello will.not
Me: Will you pay for my flight?
Visitor: The request is for Prince William of course

Me: Oh, that's a shame, I thought you were inviting me. Write to him at Buckingham Palace, London, England.
Visitor: thanks is that the full address? sorry to disappoint you
Me: Yes. And sorry to disappoint you too.

I am not Egyptian though I wish i were to delve into deep pyramids, aviod treturous traps and find magicla artefacts from the relm of the great kings.
Look I know this is not you and just a fan because you hate all this publicity, but you do not mind be ing a heart-throb sometimes! Well I am a girl who could never be in love with you because I have never met you! Besides this girls heart you just can't have! I think it does not matter what you look like on the outside but when I talk to a person I look into their eyes, straight to the heart to see what is there, that is what I call knowing a person.(Do not worry i am not a ugly person, i am smart but want to be know for my intelgence as well as looks)
[but not her spelling and grammar, apparently.]   I just hope you lead a good life, you may be wealthy, but you are not the happiest person in the world. Am i right? You crave for freedom, but will never recieve it, whilst you are a prisoner of yourself. To be free escape yourself. your sincerly

Through manys roads a lone heart wanders,
Pressures and lies often follow,
But throuhg the fog a bright light shines,
The love of one, a place to hide,
So when your feeling lost and alone,
Reach inside and that love will find a home.
REPLY: Oh, please!

Will,
I am glad to hear that you and your family are able to stay together during the hard times of your mother's passing.
I understand how difficult it is as my parents are both on a higher plane. I do miss them dearly but, like you, they are always with you no matter what the situation. Your mother is with you and your brother always.
Remember to always keep that warm smile on your face and in your heart. You really are your mother's son.
Take care,
J------- A-------

Hi!
To tell the truth I'm not a big fan. I'm just learning how to type really fast and also I'm so bored. Do you get bored? I guess not "stupid question", you can never be bored living in the palace and all. ... No offence but I think England is a really boring place.I've been there 2 or 3 times and I was really bored.Well, I have to go now,besides I know you are not going ro read this. Stay cool and blessed.
"peace"
REPLY: Zelda Fitzgerald said she was never bored because she was never boring. If you have visited England three times, and were bored, then it is you who are boring, sweetie.
