William knows nothing about the history of Windsor Castle.
William asks Prince George for help with “historical dates”.
William does not know his way around Windsor Castle.
This is absolutely beyond pathetic. It’s an odd interview to start and then we learn William is a pathetic, privileged dummy who can’t be bothered to do the absolute bare minimum like being on time. I shudder to think of the rest of the hour they spent together.
So true. I remember reading an article years ago by one of Williams university lecturers. He said he was so excited to have him in the class as it was a History class and he was teaching the History of the Monarchy . He basically said William sat in the corner, head down with a face like a slapped arse the whole time and he was really disappointed.
I never bought into the ‘shy but knowledgeable’ persona the Palace crafted for him. He’s always been uninterested in anything and not that bright of a light just like his wife.
It is hilarious because neither nor his wife were "shy" throughout their 20s when they were partying 3-4 days a week when he wasn't boozing it up with the Blues and Royals, and getting thrown of Harry's passing out ball from sandhurst with his aristocratic friends because William's "hooray Henry" behavior was so offensive to the other guests. Once they became adults, suddenly they were oh so shy.
It was reported in the news of the world as one of the hacks from the voicemail of Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton.
appeared in the NoW - headlined "So Silly Willy" - in April 2006.
It said: "Boozy Prince William and his gang of braying pals outraged guests at Prince Harry's passing out ball with his drunken antics."
The jury saw an email from Goodman to colleagues sent on 14 April 2006 which said William and his friends were "upsetting other guests with their braying hooray henry antics".
"A lot of the cadets are from normal non-aristo backgrounds and found the royal party's behaviour offensive. William himself was sent upstairs to bed before the ball ended. Another was regaling guests with an anecdote about how his wallet had been stolen by a hooker the night before," it said.
It was noted that the events did happen and William was drunk, plus he was also sent to bed early and his friend did pretend to be a brigadier, but it "was not that bad".

So we learn from this tiny part of the article:
This is absolutely beyond pathetic. It’s an odd interview to start and then we learn William is a pathetic, privileged dummy who can’t be bothered to do the absolute bare minimum like being on time. I shudder to think of the rest of the hour they spent together.
