Prince William has always valued trust. And whoever sneaked on him would usually be called out.

In the book “William And Catherine,” royal author Andrew Morton detailed an incident from several years ago while the Duke of Cambridge was still studying at the University of St. Andrews. While there, the dad of three faced a problem with trust.

“He laid false trials, making up stories which he fed to those he suspected of treachery,” Morton said. “The chief suspect, a female student, was ostracized by the prince and his circle,” he added.

One of Prince William’s schoolmates, Michael Choong, seconded Morton’s statement. He said that Prince William detested those people who sneaked on him to the media. Even though Prince William wasn’t vindictive, no one could forget what could happen if someone breaks his trust.

Meanwhile, Morton also said that Prince William had quite a lonely life at the university. “Many considered it seriously uncool even to mention the prince in conversation with fellow students,” he said.

Prince William’s former schoolmate Neil Holmes Walker told the royal author that any comment about the royal implied that his presence affected one’s decision to study at the university. Comments about Prince William also made whoever uttered it either a fan or a social climber.

“Even the idea of saying ‘hi’ at a party or in a pub was considered ‘social suicide.’ This endless mutual wariness between crown and gown made for a lonely life, as William once admitted,” Morton said. But one great thing also came out of Prince William’s time at the University of St. Andrews.

While studying there, he met his wife, Kate Middleton. The two royals started out as friends before moving in together in the same apartment. The couple started dating in the early 2000s, but they called it quits twice before finally getting engaged in 2010.

On April 29, 2011, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge tied the knot at Westminster Abbey. Two years later, they were blessed with their eldest child, Prince George, who is currently third in line to the throne.
