Prince William admits to nerves over impending royal wedding

Britain's Prince William has admitted to being nervous about his forthcoming wedding to Kate Middleton, saying that the marriage on April 29 is giving him "sleepless nights."

The 28-year-old made his confession to journalists at the Royal Air Force base, RAF Valley, in Anglesey, off the coast of Wales, where he is stationed, DPA reported.

"It's quite a daunting prospect but very exciting and I'm thoroughly looking forward to it but there's still a lot of planning to be done in the last four weeks", he said, according to the Press Association.

When asked what elements gave him cause for sleepless nights, he replied: "The whole thing."

"I was telling everyone I did the rehearsal the other day and my knees started tapping quite nervously", he said.

William also confirmed that he had recently succeeded in celebrating a stag night with close friends without the press becoming aware until after the event.

"It's quite good news always to outfox the media but it was a military operation and my brother (Harry) and I are very proud of how it went", he said.

Prince William, a helicopter pilot on the RAF Search and Rescue team, also said he loved his "fantastic" job.

"It's rewarding because every day you come into work you don't quite know what's going to happen, it's quite exciting in that sense, it's unpredictable."

"But at the same time it's great that you get to go out and actually save someone's life hopefully or at least make a difference to somebody when you know that they are in trouble you do everything you can to get there."

He made his comments during a visit to the base of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Philip.
