The Time Prince William Lost A Tooth While Partying Too Hard
The British are notorious for having bad teeth; one royal has added to the cliché. William, Prince of Wales once chipped a tooth from carousing into the early morning hours. The story was kept hush-hush until a year later.
In June 2013, while attending the "Royal Wedding of the North," aka Tom Van Straubenzee and Lady Melissa Percy's Northumberland nuptials, Prince William was reportedly "tearing up the dancefloor," according to an insider who spoke with the Daily Mail in 2014. If you're picturing a "Saltburn" party situation, we are too. The only murder on the dancefloor that occurred, however, was to one of William's front teeth. While getting down with his close friend Tom Inskip, the pair got a little too rowdy, resulting in Inskip accidentally striking the prince in the mouth, chipping one of his teeth. The dental dilemma resulted in William being rushed to an emergency dentist to fix the piece of the missing tooth, according to the source.
Other party-goers who witnessed the scene spoke to the Mail, one revealing: "William was joking that if Kate went into labour that night, he'd have to smile for the cameras with a missing tooth." Kate Middleton was pregnant with Prince George at the time; another source said William thought his wife would go berserk if she found out. She's probably over it by now, seeing how in 2016, her husband bonded with a little girl about missing teeth while William and Kate visited the UK's Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, per Pop Sugar.
Prince William's partying days were not put behind him
His usually proper royal behavior has camouflaged many scandalous Prince William moments that everyone has forgotten about. Lest we forget that William once danced his way into a scandal (literally). In 2017, the royal's contemptuous decision to leave his wife and kids behind to go on a ski trip with his friends was the reason William missed the Commonwealth Day service. Not only was he publicly scorned for choosing the slopes over the service, but the Prince of Wales was also seen getting his groove on at a nightclub in the area. While William has amused royal watchers with his dance moves many times, his seedy behavior in the club is not something of which they approve.
Footage of his night on the dancefloor, obtained by the Daily Mail in March 2017, showed William putting his hands on a woman who was definitely not Kate Middleton. Make no mistake, she didn't let him get away with it. According to a source who spoke with Vanity Fair at the time, "[Kate] won't be happy with William's antics," adding, "I imagine she'll find this humiliating and William will have come in for a pasting."
