Prince William greets fans as he walks the red carpet at the Orange British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) in London today.  The approachable Prince posed for pictures and kissed some fans making a lot of girls squeal I’m sure. I let out a very large oink when I saw these photos.

I wonder who got more screams on the red carpet, him or Robert Pattinson?
