Prince William is one of the most pictured men around the world, well used to the click of cameras and media swarm wherever he goes, but in an unearthed clip from when he was a young boy he, wasn't so sure about photographers.

In a sweet moment, William was captured at a photocall inside the grounds of Kensington Palace, alongside his father King Charles and mother Princess Diana.

The tot was wearing a blue padded snuggle suit and after he made his way across the grass the sound of the photographer's camera stopped him in his tracks, where he marvelled at the row of people for a few moments.

His doting parents looked on and smiled as the little one turned back towards them. He was then seen trying to walk back through the gate they came in through so his mother Diana scooped him up and could be heard saying: "No, we're not finished yet."

William has since had time to get used to the swathes of paparazzi and journalists that follow him and his family around.

His own children are often out in front of the world's press, and they are usually so impeccably behaved. William's youngest, Prince Louis, however, is well known for his cheeky faces and sweet gestures – knowing exactly how to capture the attention and hearts of the nation.

At a press call when William was much older, ahead of his gap year, he voiced concerns for his younger brother's privacy from the media, hoping that he would be "left alone" the way he was.

William thanked the press for how they treated him during his time at Eton College.

"You've all left me alone… it made a real big difference with everyone not trying to snap a picture when I was walking around the streets," he said.  "I hope it continues for Harry when he's there," the young Prince remarked.
