Prince Charles' press secretary, Sandy Henney, once made a deal with the press while Prince William was on summer vacation from Eton. Henney had told newspaper editors she would supply photos of Prince William and Prince Harry if the newspapers agreed not to print pictures taken by paparazzi. Henney says Prince William was reluctant to have the photos taken. "The first one, William did not want to do it," she said. "It's not true to say that he didn't like the press after his mother died; he didn't like them before that."
