Prince William visited Oxford yesterday morning to officially open a refurbished library at Oxford University's Magdalen College.

The heir to the throne was taken on a tour of the college to officially open the library at Longwall Quad, then visited the Bodleian Library's £80m Weston Library in Broad Street, and finally the Blavatnik School of Government in Jericho.

Throughout the tour Prince William stopped to speak to several students and University leaders as well as a quick wave to those fans that had gathered outside the school.

At the Longwall Library the Duke of Cambridge had a chat with students after jokingly asking the correct pronunciation of Magdalen.

Music student Anna Lapwood, 20, from Oxford spoke to His Royal Highness.

She said: "He was really nice and it was really good of him to come round to everyone of us to shake our hands.

"He had a bit of a joke about how we were pretending to be working.

"The visit is a big deal, he is a very important figure and he appreciates the achievement for the university."

Following the first library visit, Prince William was taken to the Weston Library which has been reopened after an £80 million renovation.

It was then on to the Blavatnik School of Government where His Royal Highness was greeted by crowds of onlookers hoping to see him arrive.

Among them was two-year-old Navy Gee who was dressed up all in pink with a matching fascinator.

Mum Chantay Gee, who lives in Oxford, said: "Navy loves cinderella and I have been telling her the prince is coming so she wants to see the prince and has flowers to give him.

"We are from America and of course in America the royals are iconic so it would be amazing to see them here."

Prince William met with those involved in the design and construction of the school including donor Leonard Blavatnik and his family.

The school was made possible following a £75m gift from industrialist Leonard Blavatnik.

He followed the tour with a speech to crowds of students, during which he said: "I wish the current students, faculty and staff of the School the very best as they work in this remarkable new building. 

"I hope that this place will inspire them, and the generations that follow, to make a real and positive contribution to good government wherever they find themselves in the world."

The Duke last visited the city in 2014 to officially open the new Dickson Poon China Centre at Oxford University’s St Hugh’s College.
