Prince William shows off his 'Austin Powers' with camera

London, February 16 (ANI): Prince William has been likened to Austin Powers by his mentor and legendary photographer Rankin.

The second in line to the British throne took to the lens for a photo shoot to promote homeless charity Crisis.

The 27-year-old snapped pictures of Jeff Hubbard who later swapped places with the prince behind the camera, The Sun reported.

Rankin praised them both and went on to call the royal a "natural" when it came to taking pictures.

He said: "There is an element of Austin Powers about doing shoots - 'Hey baby, give it to me!' - and they both went into photographer stance." (ANI)
