Prince William and Prince Harry’s contrasting behavior in their early 20s have been revealed by a former palace employee.
The ex-royal aid called Grant Harrold was appointed butler from 2004 to 2011 by King Charles shared details of his meetings with the royal family in his new book, via Radaronline.com.
“One of the reasons I wanted to work for Prince Charles was to be a help to his sons, William and Harry, who were twenty -one and nineteen at the time, and it wasn’t long before I met the young princess,” Harrold wrote in his book, The Royal Butler.
Remembering his first meeting ever with much younger Prince William has noticed that the future King’s voice was “so deep and authoritative” and had a down -to -earth character.
William, who was at that time in the fourth year of university, arrived back to the palace in May of his joining year.
They exchanged greetings and introduced each other. When the employee asked how to turn to Prince William, he politely replied, “William. My name is William.”
Harrold said that William was “very friendly, polite and just to that point.”
A few days later, Butler had his first meeting with the then 19-year-old Harry.
“I was in the kitchen one day and had a conversation with the chef when someone showed up at the door and threw a water balloon on me without warning,” he wrote.
“I took a double roof. ‘Ok,’ I thought, so this happens … Prince Harry has just arrived home and I get a water balloon thrown on me.”
Harrold continued to say, “Linguistically avoided the first missile I saw that he got up another and dive instinctively into the bars on the back of the kitchen. Suddenly I realized I was getting corner, I went out of a window around the size of a picture frame, with a Netto covering to stop flies coming in.
After they got in front of each other, Harry apologized and noticed “I’m just a little silly.”
