Princes' banter helps raise cash for charity

Prince William was accused by brother, Harry, today of getting bogged down in baby talk as the brothers joked their way through a charity fundraiser.  The princes took to the floor to seal deals at a city traders to help raise money at a special charity day.  Harry chipped in during one of William's deals that he was all baby talk and then told his brother to 'stop flirting and get on with it'.  And they managed to break trading records as they charmed and chatted their way to collecting cash for charity.

BGC International holds a big fundraising event on September 11th every year to remember their 658 employees who were killed in the terrorist attacks of 9/11.  In the nine years that the event has been going it's brought in eighty nine million pounds in their memory and that money has gone to a number of good causes.  Among those to benefit are Prince William's SkillForce and Prince Harry's WellChild.  And the brothers came along today to help the event as a tribute to those who died in 2001.
