Prince William has told a young cancer patient about his childhood dream job and why he would beat Prince Harry at arm wrestling.
He also spoke about his charity work and how he was following in his mother's footsteps by supporting plans for a children's and teenage cancer centre at the Royal Marsden Hospital.
In the interview at Clarence House he told 10-year-old Alice, a cancer patient, how his mother had been closeley involved with the Royal Marsden and he wanted to "follow in her footsteps".
"Since doing that [work experience] I've learnt so much and met so many incredible people who have been unfortunate enough to have cancer - and most battle through it and have dealt with it in an incredibly inspirational way," he added.
When asked what he would do if he was not a Prince, William said, "A long time ago I wanted to be a policeman, when I was younger. I soon learnt that probably wasn't a good idea."
He added, "At the moment I'm still doing some sort of helicopter flying, doing search and rescue... It's going very well.
"My instructors would probably say, 'Not so well', but I think it's going not too badly. I haven't managed to dent any of the aircraft, I haven't flown into any trees yet, so... it's going OK."
The Prince also told the young Royal reporter about how a childhood golf accident left him with a "Harry Potter" scar.
Pointing to his forehead, he told Alice, "That was for my Harry Potter scar, as I call it, just here. I call it that because it glows sometimes and some people notice it - other times they don't notice it at all."
The Prince was also clear on who would win an arm wrestle between himself and Prince Harry. "It's not even a contest. Obviously I'd win. Obviously. As the bigger brother you have that psychological power over your brother, you see," he joked.
The Prince's interview comes after he spoke last week of the "emptiness" he feels on Mother's Day following the death of his mother 12 years ago, in a speech to mark the launch of the Child Bereavement Charity's Mother's Day campaign.
