Ananova:

Prince William has been spotted dressed as a chav.

The future King of England joined his platoon as they donned chav-themed fancy dress to mark the completion of their first term at Sandhurst.

William completed his look with bling jewellery and a baseball cap.

According to The Sun one cadet said: "Seeing Prince William dressed as a chav was hilarious. He made the outfit himself, although he had to borrow much of the gear from the sergeants.

However, the Prince was not able to put on a working-class accent.

The source added: "As we were waiting to do the photo, the cadets teased William about his accent. They demanded he try and put on a chavvy accent and stop speaking like a Royal.

"William's not actually the poshest-sounding cadet, despite his family heritage, but he struggled to pull off a working-class accent.

"It was great fun. He was making hand gestures and swaggering from side to side as he walked across the parade square. It was all in great spirits and William had all of us in fits of laughter.

"It's not often you see the heir to the British throne trying to put on a silly accent while dressed as a chav."

William has now effectively finished his first three terms at the academy. He will enjoy a three-week break after returning to Sandhurst to watch 21-year-old Harry's passing out parade on Wednesday.
