The night before his royal wedding, the Prince revealed he only got 30 minutes sleep: "I hadn't slept at all that night because obviously all the crowds were on The Mall," he said.

His former colleagues revealed they often played pranks on the Prince: "We spent a few pounds on Kate and William memorabilia and strategically secreted it around the place so he might open a locker and find stuff, or find his own face on a cushion or see his own face on a cup when you give him a cup of tea," one revealed.
