Party's over for Wills
11/09/2006 13:26 - (SA)
London - Britain's Prince William headed back to barracks on Sunday to begin the final term of his training to become an army officer.
William, 24, has been holidaying on the Spanish party island of Ibiza with his girlfriend Kate Middleton, also 24.
He will have to decide which army regiment to join once he finishes at the elite Sandhurst academy in December, and is widely tipped to chose the Welsh Guards.
Like his younger brother Prince Harry, 21, who graduated from Sandhurst in April, William will be pelted with potatoes as part of his third term training.
The odd-sounding exercise is to prepare the officer cadets for tackling riots. Fellow recruits pretend to be an unruly mob and pepper their colleagues with the missiles.
"Spud-bashing" is part of a 10-day peacekeeping training and counter-insurgency course.
