"As a toddler, [William] had been a cause of concern to the Queen when he showed signs of being a brat," Brown wrote in her book The Palace Papers, Express reported. "She complained to her husband that their grandson was 'out of control' and needed a stricter nanny."

Aside from being difficult, the second in line to the throne reportedly had a line that he used to threaten his nanny.

"She was not amused that he loved to say: 'When I am king, I’m going to make a new rule that..." Brown added.

"By the time he was four, he had the unattractive habit of yapping at his nanny, Barbara Barnes: 'No one tells me what to do! When I am king I will have you punished."
