Mag claims to have William 'spy'

An American magazine is to begin serialising leaked information about Prince William's time at university.

The New York publishers of teenage magazine Seventeen claim to have "exclusive access" to one of William's fellow classmates on his art history course at St Andrews.

They are to print the anonymous informant's accounts of the Prince's routine every month in a column entitled William Watch.

Jodi Lapoint, spokeswoman for the magazine, said: "We're delighted to be keeping William's legion of US fans posted with his daily routine at one of the world's best universities.

"We've been approached by one of his classmates who will be providing readers with monthly updates on a voluntary and unpaid basis.

"As far as we're concerned, William's the world's most desirable bachelor with an enormous female following. We have a duty to keep people informed as to his daily activities."

Students at the Scottish university have been threatened with expulsion if anyone leaks information to the press. But Ms Lapoint said this was not a matter of concern to the Manhattan-based publication.

She said: "There's absolutely no harm in printing something that's clearly in the public interest. We're only writing nice things about him." The first issue, which goes on sale in January, details William's behaviour in class. The so-called "guy spy" reports: "In art history, Prince William had been sitting up front until the girls in class started migrating there.

"One day his entire section was full except for two seats - the ones he and his bodyguard usually occupied. William had moved to the balcony.

"Now the downstairs is like a ghost town because all the girls have gone upstairs. But the best thing about having William on campus is that the number of good-looking girls here has skyrocketed!"

Ms Lapoint added that the magazine planned to run William Watch for at least three months - "or until it proved unpopular".

She denied that the magazine was paying the anonymous student.
