While many know of the Duke of Cambridge, William has been known to keep to himself.

“It began when I was two,” William recalled in the chat.
“I’ve been rightfully told because I can’t remember back that far.

When William was just 9 years old, he was hit in the head by a flying object.
He calls this scar his “Harry Potter scar” because he says that sometimes it glows.
While there, William gushed about life by the water.
“We should have brought our wetsuits I’m very jealous,” he revealed.
“Living by the beach is just perfect.”
As it turns out, the prince loves the water and has even learned to surf.
In 2011, William even opted to go surfing for his stag do, according toABC News.
“There’s no noise.
It’s just you breathing.
You’re in a different world with the fish,” William once said.

It’s like an earthquake has just run through the house and through your life and everything.”
That’s why William has been known to speak out about mental illness.
William and Kate broke up once in 2004, and then again in 2007, as noted byMarie Claire.
It seemed the prince was happy to go his separate way after the second split.
Luckily, it all worked out for these two!
Luckily, he had a system in place to help him fly under the radar while he attended University.
It was a sneaky way to avoid attention and may have helped the prince keep a low profile.
According toMarie Claire, Harry used the name “Spike Wells” for an online profile.
Instead, he was gifted the ring by his younger brother, Prince Harry.
His one thing he kept from his mother, he gave to his brother.
That’s selfless, kind and exactly who Diana was.”
Hopefully William enjoyed the prank and had a good sense of humor about the memorabilia.
He then started his first year at St. Andrews University, as noted by theInternational Business Times.
Fortunately, it seems William isn’t troubled by his right-handed polo playing.

According to a source who knows the royal, William is thrilled to see his son taking after him.
Hopefully George will grow up to play polo as well as his father, too!
