Prince William is the first child of Princess Diana and Prince Charles, the future King of England. Princess Diana was very loved in the world, and her many traits are inherited by her two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry.

Princess Diana was called ‘’Shy Di,’’ and her son Prince William had that side of her when he was younger. ‘’Shy Di’’ would sometimes avoid looking into the camera, and William did that too, but for some other reasons. Robert Jobson revealed that in his book William and Kate The Love Story: A Celebration Of The Wedding Of The Century, which reads, “The shyness that many commentators and royal observers detected in him was, according to some of William’s school friends, a winning trait when it came to attracting girls. He later insisted he was never really shy at all but just did not like being photographed and felt that if he kept his head down, people would not recognize him.’’

Jobson also mentioned what Prince William had to say on the subject, stating, “But, it’s very funny. I was called shy because I put my head down so much when I was in public. It was never because I was shy. It was a really naive thing that I hadn’t picked up on. I know it’s silly and that everyone will laugh at it. But I thought that, when I was in public, if I kept my head down, then I wouldn’t be photographed so much.”

He further added, “Therefore, I thought, people wouldn’t know what I looked like so I could go about doing my own thing — which, of course, frankly was never going to work. It was so that people wouldn’t recognize me, and I could still go out with friends and things like that. So they just saw the top of my head. But usually, I was photographed with my eyes looking up through a big blond fringe.”
