During his youth, Prince William was not always easy to live with. Especially for his nannies at the time.
Hard to imagine today but Prince William has not always been the model prince. The one whose whole crown speaks the greatest good. When he was little, our dear Willy was anything but wise. Moreover, Queen Elizabeth has repeatedly complained about the behavior of her grandson to her husband., Prince Philip. In her book The Palace Papers, writer Tina Brown explained that the boy was “out of control“. He did not hesitate to take advantage of his status as an heir and already put himself in the shoes of the king. “She [Elizabeth II] was not happy when she heard him say: ‘When I am king, I will introduce a new law’“, reports the author. In 1983, Diana had not hidden that the behavior of Prince William was not easy to manage. The son of Prince Charles would have even threatened a nanny.
The Princess of Wales had also explained that she nicknamed him “wombat”, which must be translated into “little terror”. He had a habit of running around, bumping into tables and lamps and smashing anything in his way. When he was only 4 years old, he would have already threatened a nanny at the time, named Barbara Barnes. “No one tells me what to do! You will be punished when I am king“, he launched. An incident of no consequence today but which says a lot about the character of the kid.
