London:
Royal brothers William and Harry today clocked a world record 25 billion euro deal on the trading floor for charity in the memory of 9/11 victims.
Even though they notched up a record trade, William, the Duke of Cambridge, and Prince Harry still had time to poke fun at each other, and play jokes on professional traders at the BCG Partners brokerage in London's Docklands.
The two brothers spent nearly an hour negotiating deals during the firm's annual charity day to raise money in memory of its 658 employees who died in the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Centre in New York exactly 12 years ago, the Telegraph reported.
During one joint telephone call, Prince Harry complained that the Duke, who became a father in July, was spending too much time talking to traders about Prince George.
"He's on the phone, it's all baby chat," Prince Harry said.
Asked how baby George is doing, the Duke told one trader, "He's very well thanks. He's sleeping quite well."
At one point Prince William told a broker: "Bloody hell, was that a billion?"
After the trader nodded, the Duke turned to Prince Harry and said, "Apparently, we should work here."
BGC broker Nick Thompson mentored Prince Harry through the deal he made alongside the Duke.
"He was great. He's very laid back about it. He did very well. Prince Harry was far more confident. Prince William was too busy with the baby chat, rather than the numbers," Mr Thompson said.
All profits from the trades during the course of the day are donated to charity, including the duke's SkillForce and Prince Harry's WellChild organisations, the BBC reported.
