Celebrity prince on social Web

Britain’s Prince William’s Facebook profile will spark some interesting questions about privacy on the social Web! For one thing, a whole lot of people are going to be wondering what network he’s on (St. Andrews University’s probably) so they can see his profile and be his “friend.” So far he has 44 friends on his list, “including Alexandra Aitken, daughter of disgraced Tory politician Jonathan Aitken, along with many of his fellow students from Scotland's St. Andrew's University,” AllHeadlinesNews.com reports. It adds that “one of William's pals, Edward Blunt, has posted a photo of the prince playing polo, next to which the young royal has written ‘Think that's more like it, although I didn't pot it.’ His friend replies: ‘You will never beat me till you work on your technique.’ Clarence House refused to comment on what they said was a ‘private matter’." I wonder if Clarence House is having as much of a challenge with changing definitions of "public" and "private" as parents are.
