Britney Spears, who turned 18 on Thursday, has stated the obvious. She thinks Britain's Prince William is "cute." "She admires both Prince William and Harry," a spokeswoman for the pop singer told PEOPLE's London Bureau. "She thinks William is cute. She admires how they cope with being in the public eye. She can relate to the fact that they have the press in their face all the time but are able to get on with their lives." According to Britain's Daily Star, Spears received a note from the 17-year-old Prince, asking her to "contact him" the next time she's in the U.K. The message came in a thank-you to Britney after she sent him sexy pictures of herself when she heard he was a fan. Yet despite press reports to the contrary, the two young things have no plans to meet, the spokeswoman said.
