Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- In the real world, William became the heir to the British throne, and the Prince of Wales, in 2022, when his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II died and his father Charles III (the former Prince of Wales from 1958-2022) became King. This happened 14 years after the publication of Revenge of the Judoon [+]Loading...["Revenge of the Judoon (novel)"] and three years after the book's author Terrance Dicks died.
- He is the elder brother of Prince Harry.
- He was portrayed by Hugh Skinner in The Windsors, Oliver Chris in King Charles III and Jon Culshaw in Headcases.
- In 73 Yards, Roger ap Gwilliam refers to "His Majesty". Given that the scene takes place in 2046, he is most likely referring to William.
