“Is a dear, interesting, charming boy – clever, amusing, engaging – it is impossible not to spoil him a little. He is growing so handsome and his large eyes have now and then a dreamy expression and then again they sparkle with fun and delight. He too has his failings; he is inclined to be selfish, domineering and proud., but I must say they, too, are not his own fault as they have been hitherto more encouraged than checked.” (His mother, future Empress Frederick)
“That very foolish, undutiful and – I must add – unfeeling boy I have no patience with and I wish he could get a good ‘skelping’ (as the Scotch say.)” (Queen Victoria)
“Is very shy by nature and that often makes him look proud....Gives much promise. The poor arm is no better, and Willy begins to feel being behind much smaller boys in every exercise of the body. He cannot run fast because he has no balance, nor ride, nor climb, nor cut his food etc. I wonder he is good tempered about it.” (He suffered from a ‘withered arm’, which did not grow and was the cause of much frustration to him.) (His mother)
"After being with [him] for some time one began to see that his brilliance was mostly superficial and all his conversation studied beforehand. It seemed to me that he anticipated what subjects of conversation would crop up and then got his staff to look up statistics, which he afterwards brought out in conversation, with the result that people were astounded at his knowledge. He was particularly good at committing statistics to memory…Quite apart from the superficial acting. The Emperor had great fascination as a conversationalist, as he was always so keen and interested. He practically stood on one’s feet, glaring into one’s eyes and giving grunts of approval, which acted as a spur.” (Frederick Ponsonby)
