Behind the scenes[]
- In the real world, William became the heir to the British throne, and the Prince of Wales, in 2022, when his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II died and his father Charles III (the former Prince of Wales from 1958-2022) became King. This happened 14 years after the publication of Revenge of the Judoon and three years after the book's author Terrance Dicks died.
- He is the elder brother of Prince Harry.
