Buckingham Palace meant it when it asked the press and others to keep hands off of Prince William [Martin] while at school. A London shopkeeper selling T-shirts of the prince was asked to withdraw the shirts showing the 13-year-old Eton freshman flanked by two classmates. Jonathan Rolls complied. "I don't want to upset anyone, least of all Eton College and the royal family," said Rolls, who said the shirts had been selling briskly at $24 each. William, the oldest son of Prince Charles and Princess Diana, moved into quarters at the elite institution west of London two weeks ago. Rolls thinks he can get around the royal ban with his next product, an "I'm not Prince William" T-shirt.
