William described his grandmother as a "strong female influence"
William,
33, was also asked if he had any particularly fond childhood memories
of the Queen, and with a smile he recalled an incident when she gave him
and his cousins a huge telling off.
He explained: "(We) were on a quad bike in Balmoral and we were chasing zara around who was on a go-cart. peter and I managed to herd Zara into a lamppost and the lamppost came down and nearly squashed her.
"I remember my grandmother being the first person out and running across the lawn in her kilt. She came charging over and gave us the most almighty b*****king.

The Prince has the Queen's full backing when it came to balancing his responsibilities
"That
sort of stuck in my mind from that moment on that I really should be a
little bit more careful about what I'm doing and try not to kill my
cousins."
William went on to speak about the recent critism he has received while trying to balance his royal duties with his family life and his job as an air ambulance pilot, and insisted he had his grandmother’s full backing.
"Surprisingly, she is very supportive of what I'm doing at the moment - she understands that I'm a family man and I want to be around for my children as much as I can," he said.
"Whilst we've got three very active generations of the family, she's very much at the helm, the Queen, she's incredibly active and her schedule is packed. My father is very active, charitably and otherwise - and there's me, Harry, Catherine and everyone else so there's a time and a place for taking on more and more responsibilities, and that will come."
