Even though royals may look picture perfect from the outside, they surely must have some annoying habits, just like the rest of us.
And according to one source, Prince William himself has faced complaints from none other than his auntie, Princess Anne.
It comes as the sister of King Charles III is set to celebrate her 75th birthday on August 15, and has even been honoured by the Royal Mint with a commemorative coin to mark the milestone.
The coin includes a portrait of The Princess Royal’s face and a depiction of her Coat of Arms.

It’s framed with the inscription: "The Princess Royal - Celebrating 75 Years - Duty and Devotion” - something that fans agree is fitting for her hard work and dedication to the crown.
As the daughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, we all know Anne is no stranger to royal engagements.
Fans have consistently branded her the hardest-working royal and one of the most dedicated members of the royal family.
And it looks like she has no plans to stop any time soon, as revealed in a new article by The Times to celebrate The Princess Royal’s milestone birthday.
A source close to Anne told the publication that her plan is to push on with working until she’s 80, before winding down when she reaches 90, similarly to the late Prince Philip.
They reportedly said: “The head of state has to go on but the princess is in a position where she can wind down and say, ‘I’ve done my bit’, just like the Duke of Edinburgh did.
“She would like to do it while she is still in reasonable health and she can enjoy some time at Gatcombe [Anne’s home in Gloucestershire].”
The source then went on to share the one habit of William’s that allegedly ‘annoys’ Anne.
The publication reported that several sources close to her said that she would like to see her nephew do more of the ‘bread-and-butter’ royal engagements.
A source reportedly said: “She’s still doing most of the investitures [at Windsor] even though William lives there. It annoys her.”
For those unfamiliar, an investiture is the very special day when someone who has been awarded an honour receives their award in person from a member of the royal family.
According to the royal family’s official website, there are about 30 investitures each year.
Only King Charles III, Anne, and William do them - most of which take place at Windsor Castle, which is of course close to William’s Windsor home, Adelaide Cottage.
Tyla has contacted a representative of Buckingham Palace for comment.
