Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I mohiotia noa ko "Wills" i roto i te whanau, i tapaina a William ko "Wombat" e tona whaea, i hiahia ia me tana taina, a Harry, kia whai wheako nui ake i nga wheako o te koiora i nga mea e waatea ana ki nga tamariki rangatira. I kawea rātau e ia ki Walt Disney World me McDonald's, ki ngā whare haumanu AIDS, ki ngā whare noho mō te hunga kāinga kore, ā, i hokona mai e rātau ngā mea e mau tonu ana ki ngā taiohi, pēnei i ngā kēmu ataata. I wehe ōna mātua i te tau 1996. I mate a Diana i roto i tētahi aitua waka i nga haora wawe o te 31 o Akuhata 1997. Ko William, 15 ona tau i taua wa, me tana taina 12-tau-tau me to ratau papa, i noho ki Balmoral Castle i taua wa. I tatari te Pirinihi o Wales kia oho ake ana tama i te ata e whai ake nei ki te korero ki a ratau mo te matenga o to ratau whaea. I haere tahi a William me tona papa, teina, tupuna matua Prince Philip, Duke o Edinburgh, me tana matua keke a Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer, i tana
te tangihanga o te whaea. I haere a William raua ko Harry i muri i te tiriti o te tangihanga mai i Kensington Palace ki Westminster Abbey.
