Prince William and Prince Harry took to the stock market Wednesday, negotiating deals for record amounts in support of a Sept. 11 charity.
The two Princes closed a trade for a whopping 25 billion euros at the BCG Partners brokerage in London, during the firm's yearly charity event that raises funds to commemorate the 658 employees who died in the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center 12 years ago, the Telegraph reported.
Despite the somber nature of the day, Prince William and Prince Harry still made sure to inject some humor into their work- the two brothers poked fun at one another, and engaged in dry banter with traders on the phone.
During one conversation, Prince Harry joshed about his brother's recent fatherhood, saying that the Duke was wasting time conversing with the professionals about baby Prince George.
"He's on the phone, it's all baby chat," Harry chuckled.
When a trader asked how George was doing, William told him he was "very well."
"He's sleeping quite well," he relayed.
In another phone call, the Telegraph reported William as saying, "Bloody hell, was that a billion?!" to a trader in the room, who nodded in response. The Prince turned to his brother Harry and said, "Apparently, we should work here."
Maybe he's right - Harry was reportedly a pro at raising money for the worthy cause. As he was closing one deal, the Prince cajoled the professional trader on the other line to fork out a bit more cash.
"150? Why don't we make that 200?" he said.
"200? Done."
"Are you feeling like making some money for charity today?" Prince Harry asked a trader on the phone. "Good. Whatever you're thinking, you can double it."
Their final deal closed out at 25 billion dollars, which, according to the Telegraph, was a record for the exchange.
BCG Partners experienced devastating losses at their New York City office during the Sept. 11 attacks. At that time, the company was Cantor Fitzgerald, located on the 101-105 floors of One World Trade Center.
Cantor Fitzgerald lost two-thirds of its workforce in the attacks. For five years following the devastation, Cantor Fitzgerald gave 25 percent of its profits to families who had lost kin, in addition to paying for 10 years of their healthcare, according to MSNBC.
