**Updated** Prince William is keen to point out that he does not intend to become a silent Prince.  Speaking recently at an exclusive event at Buckingham Place, he challenged critics who suggest he’s nothing more than a “party Prince,” laying out how he sees his future.

The future King revealed his plans to continue with all of his charitable work, and that of his late mother, Princess Diana, but that he intends to do it on his own terms.  “I won’t be doing anything other than the way I know how, and, in my view, the most effective way to get results.”

William is also stepping up his effort to become a powerful voice for his other passion:  soccer. Many were surprised to learn that Wills, who is president of the English Football Association, has been effectively sidelined in the U.K.’s bid to bring the prestigious FA Cup championship to England in 2018.
He has since renewed his interest in the event and has vowed to do “whatever it takes” to make sure England wins the contest in 2010 to host the 2018 Cup.

As a result, plans are being drawn for William and Harry to join 60,000 England fans during the 6,000-mile trip to South Africa for the World Cup in June-July 2010.  At the same time, they are organizing a trip to Lesotho to aide Sentebale.  Take note that this scoop was revealed by Duncan Larcombe of The Sun, so the story is most like accurate.

“Plans are still being drawn up, but both princes will be given time off from their military duties to attend.  They love football and are keen to be there to support England, but also see this as the perfect opportunity to focus attention on Lesotho. They are also expected to play in a football match in Lesotho.”
