10 shocking facts about Prince William's personality
Untold truth about Prince William that raises eyebrows

Unanticipated Shy At Home
According to Insiders, William's polished image gives no clue to the fact that he can be incredibly shy in private and, off duty, prefers to hibernate in the background.
Champions in their Own Right
Whether it’s polo, charity races, or even family board games, he allegedly hates losing—and will quietly plot a comeback if he does.
A "Secret" Clown
Those close to him characterize him as a playful person, humorously tend to make small jibes that can amuse friends tremendously.
A Family Man
William is described as highly protective of his immediate family, particularly and especially of Kate and the children, to the point of actively defending against unwanted incursions.
Daring and Daring: A Dual Identity
He seems to be taking a much more cautious approach to things in public, however, it has been reported that- in the privacy of his own life- he is much more adventurous, be it in extreme sports or travel.
A Stealthy Geek
Contrary to what royal followers might think, William is said to be comfortable with devices and even to the point of playing with his children.
Keeps a Financial Intel on You
Several palace sources said that in the case of a personal betrayal, one does not easily forgive and will more or less keep financial tabs on you.
Father in Action
Forget the royal nannies. From school runs to bedtime stories, William participates fully in his children's daily activities.
Intense Work Ethic
It is said that he is one of the royals who puts in the most effort behind the scenes as he ensures he reads and is up to date on every report pertaining to the charity he supports.
Surprising Emotional
William, probably one of the most stoic people on the planet, is said to possess the ability to “soften”. As most of the people who are close to him report, he can become very emotional over the things that he cares for, and can cry privately.
