Her daughter turned to William and said: 'God, aren’t parents embarrassing?' William allegedly replied, 'Papa doesn’t embarrass me — Mama does.'
He went on to explain, 'He didn’t want to be some kind of urban kid — he longed to hunt and fish and play polo with his father; and he found his mother’s mood swings very unsettling. All in all he found that being with his mother could, at times, be a considerable emotional burden.'
