Prince William ascends to (football) throne.: Prince William, second in line to the British monarchy, assumed a much more important position: that of Football Association president, currently held by his uncle, Prince Andrew. Like the constitutional monarchy, this will be very much a figurehead role, limited to attendance at events, speech-giving, and general PR. How will Will add some pizzazz to the FA, which has concerns of losing the public's affection to cricket?
