The newly single Prince William is networking — in cyberspace. The second in line to the throne has signed up to the Internet Web site Facebook.com and, at the last count, had 44 friends.

Under the name William Wales, he has posted a photograph of himself in sunglasses and a ski hat.

At the top of the list of friends was Alexandra Aitken, daughter of the disgraced former Tory MP Jonathan Aitken, and Fergus Boyd, a close friend from St. Andrews University, who shared a flat with William and Kate Middleton, the prince’s former girlfriend, during the early days of their romance.
