PRINCE WILLIAM CRITICISED OVER 'EU COMMENTS'

Britain's Prince William has been drawn into a political row over whether he intervened in the debate over the UK's membership of the EU.

Comments he made in a speech at the UK Foreign Office about uniting in 'common action' with other countries, have been interpreted by some as a call for Britain to avoid a so-called 'Brexit'.

Kensington Palace insist he never mentioned Europe in the address.

But it came as Prime Minister David Cameron was attempting to win support for an EU reform deal that he hopes will keep the UK in the EU.

Political reporter Theo Usherwood says the timing of the Prince's comments have led to the speculation about his motive.
