Prince William, 9, the heir to the British throne, was publically whacked by his mother, Princess Diana, last week while the royal family toured Canada. The royals were in Toronto Sunday waving goodbye from the royal yacht Britannia to about 2,000 well-wishers. Wills, as he is known, kept waving to the crowd instead of posing for an official picture with Diana, his father, Prince Charles and brother, Harry, 7. An angry Diana slapped his arm twice. "Diana gave him quite a whack," Toronto Sun photographer Mark O'Neill said. "It would have hurt me, and William looked very unhappy."
