EXCLUSIVE: Prince William's Sense of Humor Revealed — How Future King 'Roared With Laughter' Over 'Joke' Name Proposals for Son George
A new book lifts the lid on heir-naming drama.
Prince William is said to have left palace aides spluttering by joking he might name his firstborn son Rodney or Graham – and then “roared with laughter” at their stunned reaction.
Future King William, 43, and his wife Catherine, Princess of Wales, 44, welcomed their eldest child, Prince George, now 12, in July 2013.
But in the months before his birth at St Mary’s Hospital in London, the couple were quietly agonizing over what to call the future king.
In his new book, William and Catherine: The Intimate Inside Story, royal reporter Russell Myers reveals the decision sparked intense debate – and even moments of irreverent humor – behind palace walls.
