Princes William, Harry turn traders for 9/11 charity event

Britain's Prince William and his brother Prince Harry turned temporary stock traders Wednesday, participating in a charity event in London to honor victims of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

Assisted by professional traders, the royals took to the phones for an hour to broker deals, including one valued at 25 billion euros ($33 billion).

They also found time to joke around. Harry accused his older brother, the father of 2-month-old Prince George, of indulging in "baby chat"rather than sealing the deal.

William, who works as a search and rescue pilot for the Royal Air Force, conceded: "I'm much better at helicopters."

The annual event is run by BGC Partners, which lost 658 employees in the U.S. during the 2001 terror attacks.

Other celebrities helping out on the trading floor Wednesday included Rod Stewart and "Mandela" actor Idris Elba.
