LONDON—On the eve of W-Day, the boys came out to say hey.
Unexpectedly, with no warning, Princes William and Harry appeared here Thursday night, plunging into the crowd of royal wedding campers outside Clarence House.
Dressed casually in pullover and jeans, the groom shook hands and chatted amiably with fans who appeared intent on smothering him with affection and good cheer.
“A little bit nervous,’’ Williams admitted when asked, repeatedly, how he was holding up on the threshhold of husband-hood and a wedding spectacle that is expected to be watched by a record TV audience of 2 billion the world over.
“Are you going to be all right?’’ the 29-year-old prince asked solicitously, clearly concerned about these die-hard royalists preparing to spend a chilly night on the pavement to secure best-viewing spots.
Taking time out from his few remaining hours as a single man was a sweet gesture, William becoming ever more adept at, and comfortable with, the walkabout, bending over to greet youngsters as he strolled along the Mall, not seeming to mind in the least as shrieking women touched his person and men slapped congratulations on his shoulder.
