Prince William Adopted Mockney Accent While In School For This Shocking Reason

Prince William reportedly adopted a mockney or slang accent while he was in school due to a shocking reason.

Barnaby Lennon, former head of Harrow, told Daily Mail that former private school students speak with mockney accents so that they will not seem posh or upper-class. These days, Lennon said that being posh is not necessarily a good thing.

“There has long been a tendency for school children to adopt their own language and certainly with an emphasis on mockney. It continues into adult life,” he said.

Lennon also said that the likes of George Osborne and Tony Blair, who both attended prestigious schools like Eton and Harrow, try to conceal their upper-class background to appear as though they are a man of the people.

In related news, Prince William also made headlines this week after it was revealed that he once saved his younger brother, Prince Harry, from having a very public meltdown.

Royal author Penny Junor revealed in the documentary “The Story of the Royals” that the Duke of Sussex especially enjoyed his time in the military because he felt normal. But in 2008, plans for him to serve fell through due to a security threat.

“They got back to RAF Northolt and the soldiers went off into an ambulance and he went into a press conference. He was being treated as though he was a hero, which he absolutely couldn’t stomach,” Junor said.

During his press interview, Prince Harry declared that he didn’t think he was a hero. While talking to the media, Prince William approached his brother and encouraged him to stop the interview. The future King was aware of what was happening and knew that Prince Harry would soon break down if it continued.

David Wiseman from the Royal Foundation said that from that moment on, Prince Harry’s fate was sealed. He vowed to work for the rest of his life for the wounded and fallen military men and women. In 2014, he launched the Invictus Games, an international sporting competition aimed at helping wounded service personnel and veterans with their rehabilitation.
