Prince William's face is one that can step into the King of England  role quite easily and do it extremely well. Besides that, he's  uncommonly good looking. . . something of a rarity in the realm of  royals!
What makes this man such a prime candidate for a kingly role beyond the fact of birthright?
For starters, he has an intriguing mix of firm assertiveness,  conscientiousness, pragmatism, friendliness, and skepticism all rolled  into one. In addition, he is aware of and concerned about personal  appearance. This gives a natural neatness and aesthetic appreciation  which helps his public image immeasurably. That rather high forehead  endows him with natural curiosity, good intelligence of a practical  kind, and an innate sense of social responsibility. (As if it hadn't  also been grilled into his psyche by his father, mother and the Queen!)
The shape of his face shows some firm aggressiveness, an affinity for  military discipline and hierarchial structure along with a natural  leadership capability. So it is no surprise he opted for military pilot  as a career choice. Combine that with his high-set ears, a square  fighter's chin, and squared jaws, and you have a pragmatic warrior. He  deals with life from a stance of doing what's necessary and taking  charge when and how it's appropriate. This powerful combination allows  real flexibility in meeting matters without being wishy-washy.
On the other side of the coin, he also shows an innate refinement and sensitivity to people. This is not a swashbuckling, bigger- than-life, in-your-face kind of leader.
Instead,  Prince William is a cautious, meticulous planner who is  basically considerate of others while expecting near perfection of  himself and to some degree, of others as well. Not inclined to  procrastinate as a rule, he needs to get the details squared away  immediately so he can move on to the next thing on his agenda. This one  trait of  "do it now and do it right" will guarantee he keeps things  moving and all the details done. Furtunately, while he shows a high  degree of moderation in speech and action, that does not preclude a  sense of humor nor social ease.
With the three ring circus that surrounds his public life, Prince  William will need a considerable amount of alone time to recover from  the demands made on him day in and day out. Introspective and aware,  firm and intelligent, he shows the potential to be an extraordinary King  of England, coming down on the side of intelligent planning and  impeccable execution. It will be interesting to watch him mature into  the role.

Loved your profile of Prince William. I don't follow the Royals anymore like I did when I lived in Australia, so I barely know anything about him. After the blows that family has suffered to its credibility over the past decade, they need a good leader. Glad to read that Wills has many good qualities to put toward the role. And it's good news for everybody he'll be impacting that these are innate qualities, instead of just what got drilled into him by his upbringing.

Thanks Milli. I've not been a follower of the Royals, either, but some faces are just plain interesting and everyone was asking about Kate and Will. If we could only preview ahead the next 40 years and give a report.... ~smile~.
