William and manning the lifeboat

The first official act of then Prince William and Kate after their engagement was to christen a lifeboat (skip the Jack the Ripper headline):

His bachelor party was an all-nauticual theme...

And don't forget the now-Duke of Cambridge is all about rescuing drowning people at sea, aboard the Sea King.  He's already rescued at least 3 persons in the water.

There seems to be a striking connection here; I hope you are reading between the lines, especially after events this weekend.  It's all there, I won't/can't point it out in black and white.
