Transcripts of intimate messages between the couple who became the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge when they married were read out in court on Thursday.
They were discovered by detectives investigating hacking allegations against the now-defunct newspaper.
William, who left the messages while he was training at Sandhurst military academy, calls his future wife "Babykins" and "Baby", tries to arrange to meet up, and also tells her that he would love to see her if it is not too late or she is busy at the gym.
In one message, sent after he has finished training, William tells her he nearly got shot in an ambush on an exercise.
The story appeared in the News of the World - "William shot in ambush" - in January 2006.
In a voicemail read out by prosecutor Andrew Edis QC, William starts by saying "Hi baby" adding: "I had a busy day today again.
"I've been running around the woods of Aldershot chasing shadows and getting terribly lost, and I walked into some other regiment's ambush, which was slightly embarrassing because I nearly got shot.
Not by live rounds but by blank rounds, which would be very embarrassing though."
He then told her he might send her "a cheeky text message" because he might have his phone with him before signing off: "All right, baby, lots of love, um, speak to you soon. Bye bye."
The court also heard a call from William in which he said: "My head's all right. I've just picked up your message. Oh, my little babykins! I hope you are all right . I just tried ringing you but I do not thing you would pick it up because it is 5.35am in the morning so it is probably not a very good time to ring you. I hope you are all right."
The "Babykins" nickname appeared in an exclusive on February 12, 2006 which said: "Wills wants the girl he calls 'babykins' to be his princess."
Prince Harry's phone was also hacked, the jury was told.
Another voicemail recovered from the home of private investigator Glenn Mulcaire involved William playing a joke on his brother by putting on a high-pitched voice as if he was Harry's then girlfriend Chelsy Davy.
