Prince William ‘wore chest wig and hairpiece at stag party’

London, April 02 (ANI): Although Prince William tried hard to keep his bachelor party under wraps, it has emerged that the he was forced to wear a chest wig and hairpiece by pals on his boozy stag do.
One source said of the royal, who also had a sticker with the Queen’s name on his head: “He took it all in good spirit.”
The fun-loving Prince blasted clay pigeons from the sky and quaffed vintage port on his secret stag weekend.
He even went surfing to mark the final stages of his life as a bachelor.
The future King told in an interview how he and soldier brother Harry employed “military precision” in their operation to hide details of the bash from the media.
But it has been reported how the pair slipped under the radar to link up with their friends at a stunning and secluded North Devon mansion.
William, who weds gorgeous Kate Middleton on April 29, travelled to the venue by car with Best Man Harry, 26, last week.
They met up with a dozen of their closest chums, including Guy Pelly, Thomas van Straubenzee, Ed and Hugh van Cutsem, and Tom “Skippy” Inskip.
One source said William had insisted on such secrecy that he even instructed his pals to avoid setting foot in a nearby village in case they raised locals’ suspicions.
And the gang agreed a “what goes on tour, stays on tour” secrecy pact before embarking on their weekend in historic Hartland Abbey and the country estate that surrounds it.
The former monastery, which dates back to the 12th Century, is surrounded by glorious gardens that straddle a private section of coastline.
It is owned by the Stucley family, whose son George is a close friend of William and joined the stag.
“On the Friday night the boys met up for what was to be a low-key evening,” the Sun quoted the source as saying.
They had booked out the whole estate to ensure privacy and Lady Stucley’s son George personally made sure that no one knew who was coming.
“On Saturday morning they had a hearty breakfast before heading outside for an hour’s clay pigeon shooting.
“They had a competition to see who was the best shot, but it didn’t get too competitive.
“While there, they polished off several bottles of vintage port.”
RAF search and rescue helicopter pilot William and his pals then took advantage of the sunny weather - spending the afternoon surfing at Speke Mill, a beauty spot a couple of miles to the south.
They are also said to have used Blackpool Mill, an idyllic and isolated beachside cottage, perched beside a stream on the Abbey estate.
“It was a relatively tame stag weekend by a lot of people’s standards. It was just about a group of lads having a good time without their other halves,” the source added. (ANI)
