Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is reported to have told an author about an ambition unrelated to royal work. According to Catherine Mayer, who says she joined him on an overseas trip and spent time with him during a trade mission, the prince described a “bizarre” or unexpected job he wished he could have done instead of being a royal. Both outlets that report the account describe Mayer’s claim that Mountbatten-Windsor said he wanted to be a plumber. The reports frame the comments as something he let slip during the trip, rather than as part of an official statement or public schedule. While the articles differ slightly in wording, they agree on the core details: the information comes from the author who was present with him, the setting is an overseas trip connected to trade, and the job ambition mentioned is plumbing. The accounts present the remarks as personal recollections from Mayer, not as confirmed public plans by Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
