The retired England player, 45, is married to Princess Anne's daughter Zara.
He jokingly revealed William's nickname last year after claiming the Royal can't handle his booze.
But Mike has now claimed his cousin has since gotten better at drinking - and has a different beverage of choice.
He told : "To be fair to him the one-pint Willy name was several years out of date and we have given him a bit of training.

“He is known to me as One Pint Willy because he is not the best of drinkers, coming from a sport where it is built on the social aspect and a couple of beers being sunk quite often.
“That is one I will give away for the Prince of Wales.”
Zara then bursts out laughing before adding: “Oh my god. You are in so much trouble.”
He also said that he and Zara call each other “munchkin” while she has her husband’s number saved in her phone as a nickname ending in “kitten”.
