London - Prince William will start his training to become a British army officer on January 8 when he starts attending the country's elite Sandhurst military academy, royal officials announced on Friday.
William, 23, the eldest son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana, follows his younger brother Prince Harry in attending the academy, Charles' Clarence House office said.
Charles is expected to travel to the school to bid farewell to William on his first day. The future king will be expected to bring his own ironing board so he can prepare his uniforms on a daily basis.
William, who is second in line to the throne, was graduated by Scotland's St Andrews University in June.
The two princes will be based in different parts of the college - William with new recruits in Old College and Harry in New College.
Harry, 21, enrolled at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in May.
