Prince William knew from a young age that he was eligible to become king one day, and he reportedly wasn’t afraid to use this fact to get what he wanted. According to “The Palace Papers,” a new book by Tina Brown about the House of Windsor, young Prince William allegedly told Queen Elizabeth he would make new rules once he became king (via Page Six). The book also reveals that a four-year-old William reportedly threatened his nanny, Barbara Barnes, telling her, “No one tells me what to do! When I am king I will have you punished.”
“The Palace Papers” claims that Prince William worried his mother, Princess Diana, with his naughty and reckless behavior. However, the young duke didn’t use his access to the throne for only bad things — he knew he could do good things with his future reign, too. According to a royal insider, Prince William supported his mother in a surprising way, reportedly telling Diana he would grant her the royal rights she lost after divorcing Prince Charles when he became king. Though William sadly won’t be able to uphold his promise to Princess Diana, he still has plans to better the world once he becomes king. According to US Weekly, the Duke of Cambridge has said he intends to become “the People’s King,” following in the footsteps of his mother, “the People’s Princess.”
