* BlueBlood: Heir to the earldom of Carnarvon; he would inherit the title on his father's death in 1987. His family is a junior line of the House of Herbert, Earls of Pembroke, who trace their ancestry to 15th-century Welsh knights who served as retainers of [[UsefulNotes/TheHouseOfPlantagenet Henry V]]. More immediately, his grandfather is ''the'' Lord Carnarvon who bankrolled the expedition to open [[UsefulNotes/{{Tutankhamun}} King Tutankhamun]]'s tomb. The Carnarvon Herberts own Highclere Castle in Hampshire, which is world famous as a filming location for English country houses (most famously, it plays the titular stately home in ''Series/DowntonAbbey'').

* MissingMom: We see his mother when she's pursued by Al-Fayed and when Dodi is born, but she disappears after his parents' divorce, leaving Dodi with only Mohamed's stifling and overbearing influence in his life.

* MissingMom: We see his mother when she's pursued by Al-Fayed and when Dodi is born, but due to traditional patriarchal customs where a father in the Arab world would always retain custody, she disappears after his parents' divorce, leaving Dodi with only Mohamed's stifling and overbearing influence in his life.



* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Had he just allowed Diana to fly home commercially, or not insist they make the stop in Paris, so that he could propose, then the two would not have been chased by paparazzi, and the two wouldn't have died in the tunnel, alongside their driver.
* WellDoneSonGuy: His father, Mohamed, is a domineering, chronically judgemental person obsessed with presenting himself as a QuintessentialBritishGentleman, and Dodi is desperate for his approval.

Added DiffLines:

* TheSimpleGestureWins: William seriously toys with the idea of leaving uni, feeling that St Andrews is small and claustrophobic, the course is dull, and, far worse, that he’s screwed everything up where Kate is concerned, as she’s taken up with Finchey. His uni mates and a whole gaggle of family members, including the Queen herself, all try to buck him up and persuade him to stick it out, but ultimately it’s only Kate’s simple text message, clear in her intentions, that persuades him to stay.
--> ''Please don’t leave uni. Kate x''
