The Prince William of Rhise and Gervis, born 25 August 2007 and christened William Edmund Christopher Peter, is the heir-apparent to the Erbonian throne. He is the only son and second-eldest child of King Alexander II and his consort, Queen Catarina.

Birth and name

William was born naturally at the Palace of St Michael'sgate on the 25th of August, 2007, and was baptised a week later by the Lord Bishop of Lendert, the Rt Rev'd Cardinal Dr. David Coke. He was christened William Edmund Peter, after his father who had been known as Prince William, and his maternal grandfather, Aleksandar II of Nikolia, named Petar.

Owing to the possible confusion between the new-born Prince William and Alexander II, hitherto known as Prince William, the decision was made to refer to the new-born publically as Prince Edmund, though since 2013 the Palace has begun using the name William. He is reportedly known to friends and family as Guliel (pronounced Gully), after the Latin form of William, Gulielmus.

On July 25, 2019 at the age of 11, he was confirmed at St Peter's Cathedral and took the name 'Christopher', the saint whose feast day falls thereon.

Schooling

William was tutored at the Palace of St Michael'sgate until the age of ten, when he was sent to board at Allord College, as was his father.
