A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A gentleman is a man who comes from a noble or high-ranking family. In the past, it was used to describe men who were above the rank of yeoman or belonged to the landed gentry. However, today the term has no precise legal meaning.

Prince William is a gentleman because he comes from the royal family.
