"You are awake," a young lady walk over to him and handed him a cup of water. Even if prince William was not sure how he got to a place like this but his throat was dry, so he accepted the cup and drank the water.

He then returns the cup to the lady without showing any appreciation. The lady was very dissatisfied with his behavior. She took the cup and walked away.

Prince William on the other hand did not see anything wrong with his behavior. From a young age, he has always had people who served him, so apart from his parent he did not see the need to tell a maid or servant thank you for doing their jobs.
