Without their mother, of course, there is good reason to worry about what will become of the young princes. William, initially so bubbly and mischievous he was dubbed "His Naughtiness," has plainly hit adolescence, towering above his father, and is considered the sensitive one, a "deep thinker," as Diana called him.
