Prince William is the cutest little soldier in throwback video with Princess Diana
Prince William and Prince Harry grew up in an intense period of media interest where every step they took was photographed or written about. Whether it was their first day of school or joining their parents on a royal tour, the press were there to witness every moment.
In one special video filmed at Highgrove House in Gloucestershire, William can be seen dressed in army fatigues playing with Diana, Princess of Wales and one-year-old Harry. The brothers were brought up between Kensington Palace in London and Highgrove House in Gloucestershire.
In a recently resurfaced video of the pair playing in the gardens of Highgrove with their mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, fans get an adorable glimpse at the little princes playing on a climbing frame, hiding in a playhouse and practicing their ‘parachute jumps’ in a sand pit.
The short clip from 1986 starts with William taking a very important phone call from his playhouse dressed in full military fatigues which were a gift from the 1st Battalion of the Parachute Regiment, of which King Charles is the Colonel in Chief.
The uniforms are completed with traditional red berets that were soaked and shrunk over pudding basins in order to fit the princes’ small heads. William – who is described as ‘Corporal William Windsor’ in the narrated clip – then reappears atop his climbing frame. He shouts out “Alright down there” before his mother appears to help guide him down from the net.
