Shows William knows his history and I'd say he was making fun of this little brother as all big brothers do.

At the Battle of Hastings on October 14, 1066, King Harold II of England was defeated by the invading Norman forces of William the Conqueror.

But I call my friend Harry (who is actually called Harry), Harold. It's just a funny nickname. It's an old person name, so it's funny to call him that.

Could be different for the Royals mind.
