William, Harry, babykins Kate and Diana . . .

AMID the gravity of the accusations, the eight-month trial revealed fascinating details of the private lives of the Royal Family. They included:

Prince William used the pet name ‘babykins’ for Kate Middleton in a phone message hacked by the News of the World.

The prince was nearly shot with blank rounds after getting lost and walking into an ambush while on an Army training exercise in woodland near Aldershot in Hampshire.

William apparently left a voicemail on Prince Harry’s phone in which he pretended to be his brother’s thengirlfriend Chelsy Davy and called him a ‘big hairy fat ginger’.

Miss Davy, pictured, drove Harry ‘nuts’ with a barrage of calls and texts while he was training to be an Army officer, according to News of the World royal editor Clive Goodman.

William was allegedly kicked out of Harry’s passing-out party at Sandhurst in 2006 for ‘braying Hooray Henry’ antics, according to Mr Goodman.

Princess Diana allegedly leaked information about the Royal Family to journalists to reveal the forces ‘ranged against her’.

The Queen was so angry about Buckingham Palace policemen eating nuts set out for guests that a memo was circulated telling officers to leave the nibbles alone, Mr Goodman also alleged.

William’s nickname was ‘Prince Dynamo’ when he was training to be an Army pilot, according to the former royal editor.

Harry allegedly joked that he would rather attend glamour model Jordan’s wedding than that of his stepbrother Tom Parker Bowles.

William attended a 007-themed party at Sandhurst dressed as a Bond girl in a green bikini, while Kate went as James Bond in a wetsuit.
