Though King Charles and Prince William often present a united front, tensions between them have sometimes been loud enough to travel through the thick walls of the palace. Insiders say the king has two very different relationships with his sons, with Harry’s being complicated and William’s marked by occasional sharp conflicts.
As the future king, William has been a crucial support system for Charles, especially during his cancer treatment. But royal experts have revealed that angry arguments have broken out between father and son over various issues, including disagreements about the Royal Collection’s ivory items.
It is said William prefers to schedule calls through the king’s office instead of calling directly. Despite these clashes, William has handled his duties with professionalism and has maintained a careful balance with his family responsibilities.
Commentators believe William and Kate are ready to take over leadership roles. Kate’s return to public duties after cancer has bolstered William’s position, with the couple seen as key to future stability in the monarchy.
