On January 15, 1987, a 5-year-old Prince William was starting his first day of school at Wetherby in London. Ken Wharfe, a former bodyguard for William and Harry who was present in the car that morning, later revealed Diana’s words to her son. As they were still in the car heading to the school Diana told the young William: “When you get to school, there are going to be lots of media and lots of photographers; you’ve got to behave yourself.”
But the 5-year-old did not like his mother’s words. Ken Wharfe reports that after he and Diana got out of the car, William defiantly turned to the photographers and said: “I don’t like photographers!
But remembering his promise to his beloved mother, He waved and smiled politely on the steps of the school for the photo op.

William has never liked the glare of the spotlight and has been very honest about it as well. In an interview ahead of his university graduation in 2005, he candidly said: “It’s been three and a half years that I have been left alone by the Media. I’ve been lucky enough to know this side of life and I always hope it’s going to stay that way because deep down I am pretty normal. I’m not much into marching bands, but I’ll manage if I have to.” Indeed, there has always been this clear dichotomy between two Williams: The Prince and Heir with the Duties and public expectations that come with it; and William, the Private person who enjoys normality and a quiet life.
To solve that internal conflict of interest and find balance, William compared his life to 2 delineated worlds:
- His Public life where he is open on the outside; professionally works with the Press and is charmingly relatable and giving with people.
- His Private Family life is simply off-limit to the world. This side of him is Very restricted to outsiders and simply closed off to the Press.
He is very frugal with details about it and he guards it fiercely Unfortunately for William, it is this part of him that the press and the world are obsessed about: His private life, his marriage, his wife, and his children.
As he said in an interview with GQ in 2017, “I couldn’t do my job without the stability of my family. Stability at home is very important to me. I want to raise my children in a happy, stable, and safe world, and that’s very important to both of us as parents.”
Indeed, William’s family is the essence of his “Superpower” ability to rise above any challenges and keep focusing on Duty. When you understand that, then you understand why all his enemies and the press are so hellbent on attacking and slandering his marriage with false rumors and are so hellbent on leading mediatic cyberattacks. They NEED to gain access to that crucial part of his life.
Just like Samson’s power was in his long hair, William’s power is in his Private family life; that world where he draws his peace, happiness, stability, and strength.
Thus, to destroy him and the Monarchy, they must destroy his marriage; To destroy his marriage, they must gain access to his private life; To gain access to his private life, they invented a need for the press to be the ONLY one to take private family pictures of HIS family, because “they” do not trust KP over edits on a picture.

The Game has been exposed by the players. This is why this Mother’s Day family picture taken by William himself in the privacy of his home enraged them so much: Seeing the vibrant smiles of Catherine and the children, staring directly at William with unabashed warmth, love, and trust, reminded his opponents that William has not been broken as they hoped; That Catherine has not been broken as they hoped; That William’s superpower, his Wife and children, is intact.
He will be very fine that reality created a meltdown of epic worldwide proportion, especially in the country where his main haters reside, the US.
William was always a Natural protector. He and his mother were famously close; so close that, as a boy, William planned his future career, hopes, and aspirations around her, and specifically around protecting her.
Indeed, as a child, William despised the idea of being King. Perhaps because all he saw of it was the glare of the spotlight he despised, his father being busy working and traveling, his mother being miserable in her marriage, and the duty and demand that came with it.
So the 5-year-old William did not want to be King as his mother told him he would be, he wanted to be a police officer.
At the time, the Mirror reported that “the young prince wanted to become a policeman as a child because he wanted to protect his beloved mother, Diana.”
When she became a teenager, William continued to build his life to protect her and make her happy.
Thus, when she was tragically and prematurely taken away from him, William did not just lose a mother, he lost his best friend and the anchor he had built his life around It is no wonder then, that when he found love at last in Catherine when he found an anchor that was supporting him and protecting him as much as he was doing for her and who brought him the family and stability he always yearned for, he made it his mantra to guard it fiercely.
If you wonder why William does not take the easy way out and use Catherine as a PR stunt and hand her over to the press to make it easier on himself, it is because William is a man of character and conviction.
What he could not do for his mother because she was young and impotent, he would do for his wife and children because he is older and can finally use them.
Catarina is no Diana. She is confident, comes from a strong family clan, and is incredibly loyal and stable. She is very protective of William and their children. From the beginning, this private couple decided to take a different path and reject the influence of the media in the House of Windsor, setting a new path for the new monarchy.
So when it came time to name William’s son and heir, he rewrote the true story. Not only was he present for the birth, but he stayed with his wife at the hospital and changed his son’s nappies. He then delayed the announcement by 4 hours and 10 minutes, enjoying the privacy and the calm before the storm, then he called the Queen, and the official announcement was made.
When he left, he drove home with his wife and son, whom he had placed in the car seat like any other proud father. Then, in another very relatable move, Catherine and he packed their belongings and took their son back home to Berkshire for the first months of Prince George’s life. Just so his Grandparents, Carole and Micheal could experience William’s promise to them that they would have full access to his children, and their grandchildren. It was Carole Middleton who bathed and took care of her grandson, not a nanny. Their grandmother.
In another significant move, The First Portrait of the New Future King was a major family affair kept in the countryside. It was Grandfather Michael Middleton who took the Iconic and symbolic picture, A man William trusted with his family life and safety and whom William also calls “dad”. He denied that access to the Media. And he sent a clear message that he has maintained to this day: only people he trusts can approach his family. When it was time for his children to start school, ONLY ONE photographer was allowed.
Prince William is slowly taking the reins and showing the world that he and Catherine are a strong team. Like the Queen and Prince Philip, they have realized that a house united cannot be attacked. But a house divided falls like a house of cards.
Thus, William and Catherine are fastly loyal to each other supported by the Middletons family’s utmost discretion and unwavering loyalty.
