Prince William dreamed of becoming a policeman when he was younger, the heir to the British throne has admitted - while also revealing how he came to get a "Harry Potter scar" on his forehead.
The 26-year-old royal opened up in an interview for a children's television program, answering questions from a young cancer patient at London's renowned Royal Marsden hospital.
Asked what he wanted to do as a child, he 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.
"At the moment I'm still doing some sort of helicopter flying, doing search and rescue," continued William, who is currently training with Britain's Royal Air Force, after a spell with the army.
"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," he added.
The future king - who has taken over his mother Princess Diana's role as honorary president of the renowned Royal Marsden hospital in London - also revealed how a childhood accident had left him with a mark on his forehead.
Pointing to it, he said: "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."
He added: "I got hit by a golf club when I was playing golf with a friend of mine. Yeah, we were on a putting green and the next thing you know there was a seven-iron and it came out of nowhere and it hit me in the head.
"So, yeah, I was in hospital for that, but that was very minor compared to how many times you've been into hospital," added the prince, second in line to the throne after his father, Diana's former husband Prince Charles.

英國王位繼承人威廉王子日前（在接受采訪時）稱他童年的夢想是當一名警察，此外他還講述了自己前額上的“哈利?波特疤痕”的來歷。
日前，26歲的威廉王子接受了一期少兒電視節目的采訪，他在采訪時回答了來自倫敦知名的皇家馬斯登醫院的一個年輕癌癥患者的問題。
在被問及童年夢想時，威廉回答說：“很久以前，我想當一名警察，那時候我還很小。但不久我就意識到，這可能不是個好主意。”
他說：“目前我仍在接受直升飛機飛行訓練，執行一些搜救任務。”在軍中服役一段時間后，威廉目前正在英國皇家空軍接受訓練。
威廉王子說：“一切進展得很順利，可能我的教練會說‘不是太好’，但我覺得不至于太糟糕。我還從沒把飛機撞癟或者撞到樹上。所以，還可以吧。”
這位未來的英國國王接替其母戴安娜王妃，現任皇家馬斯登醫院的榮譽主席。威廉王子還講述了自己額頭上一塊傷疤的來歷，據說這是他小時候的一次事故留下的。
他指著那塊疤痕說：“這是我的哈利?波特傷疤，就在這，我之所以這么稱它是因為有時候它會發光，會引起一些人的注意——不過其它時候人們一點也不會注意到它。”
他說：“這是我小時候和一個小伙伴打高爾夫時被球棒砸的。當時我們正在果嶺上，接著你知道嗎，不知從哪飛來一個7號鐵頭球棒，正好砸中我的頭。”
“所以，我就住院了，但這比起你多次住院，實在是微不足道。”威廉王子是僅次于其父親、戴安娜的前夫查爾斯王儲的英國第二王位繼承人。
