Prince William Made a Heartbreaking Admission About His Childhood to Princess Kate After She Explained a Very Normal Activity

A new royal tell-all book is hitting shelves this month, and in an excerpt from Tom Quinn's Yes Ma'am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants, published in the Times Feb. 6, the royal author reveals a story about Prince William that will tug at anyone's heartstrings.
