Mainly second hand stories
My brother was in hall with Prince William in his 1st year, so I heard a few stories about him. The best one involved the Uni Sunday league, where I think he played left back for the Strokers (top division team natch). The guy playing directly against him was having an awful game and was losing his rag slightly. Now when HRH was in town occasionally you would see police in body armour or men in black wandering around going about their daily business, so whenever he was playing football you could see men in suits standing in the trees (obvious enough that they were there but not standing in the foreground). So when William starts hacking at this guy's ankles trying to win the ball he forgets that he's playing against the air to the throne and turns round and yells something along the lines of 'Fuck off you hacking little cunt' and is about to lamp him when all of a sudden the football pitch is surrounded by very serious men in black suits and there was a very long pause before the guy deliberated on the wisdom of following through with this threat.
The Prince was apparently quite embarassed about this. He was quite decent I'm told, but his friends were arseholes.
