In this week’s royal news update, a new royal book featuring Prince William is set to shake up Buckingham Palace once again.
Queen Elizabeth II is in good spirits after meeting the Swiss president and Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s exit from the royal family didn’t go according to plan.
According to a new royal book, it seems Prince William knew the gravity of being king one day at the young age of four years old.
The royal book titled The Palace Papers: Inside the House of Windsor, the Truth and the turmoil written by Tina Brown tells a few stories of how Prince William was aware of his status as a future monarch from a young age, Business Insider reported.
The book details how the Duke of Cambridge was a rebellious young royal with bratty behaviour, a sense of entitlement, many tantrums and one time telling a nanny he would punish her when he becomes king one day.
Brown reportedly interviewed about 120 people to find her information, and these sources have been described as people close to senior royals.
“By the time he was four, he had the unattractive habit of yapping at his nanny, Barbara Banes, ‘No one tells me what to do! When I am king I will have you punished,'” Brown wrote.

William’s mother, the late Princess Diana is said to have scolded her son for his behaviour.
The book will also have “inside stories” of other royal members which include Prince Harry, Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle, Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowels.
The Palace Papers will look at the lives of the royals after the passing of the “People’s Princess” Diana over 20 years ago and all the scandals that have occurred since.
Earlier this week William and Kate commemorated Anzac Day, Australians and New Zealanders who have lost their lives in conflict and paid thanks to all those who have served this.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge also celebrated their son Prince Louis’s fourth birthday.
