His parents called him Wills, later he was affectionately known to his parents as Wombat. His birth and full names were registered on the 19th July, when the Kensington registrar called at Kensington Palace.

Diana was a devoted mother, modern in her approach to them and putting them first, rearranging her life around them and spending as much time as possible with them. She wanted to give them a normal up-bringing away from all the royal protocol - by taking them to theme parks and cinemas and dressed them in the kind of casual clothes any other youngster would wear. She also shared with them her interest in charitable causes, she didn't shelter them from the realities of the world and would take them with her when engaged in charity work or on a hospital visit. Prince William became the youngest ever royal baby to accompany his parents on their six week Australian tour in March 1983. The usual protocol was that the royal children were to stay at home but when Diana was told that this was to be the procedure she became upset so the Queen bent the rules for her by allowing William to accompany them.
