Prince William of Wales turns 7 Wednesday, and he is reported to be a changed child. Wills, as his mother Princess Diana calls him, became known as the "Prince of Wails" because of his king-size temper tantrums, but he is shedding his willful image and turning into a little charmer with the knowledge he has a big future, People magazine reports this week. "He's incredibly confident for a little boy his age," said a recent unidentified visitor to the royal family's estate in Highgrove.
