Prince William recently made comments about his plans for the monarchy once he becomes king. He said he was excited to bring change to the royal family, and reflected on issues with his own upbringing. Apparently not everyone was thrilled by these words, though. King Charles is said to be upset with his oldest son, allegedly leading to yet another rift in the splintered family.
William has spoken about his desire to upgrade the royal family recently. The future king said he is “excited” to bring change to the monarchy. He also reflected on his own childhood, and how he wants to raise his kids.
He said: “I think it’s really important that the atmosphere is created at home. You have to have that feeling of warmth, that feeling of safety, security, and love. “My parents got divorced… so that lasted a short period of time.”
According to reports, Charles isn’t too pleased with these comments, per Radar Online. Apparently, the pair aren’t even on speaking terms, with the pair’s relationship now deteriorated into “total silence.”
Royal insider Phil Dampier told Women’s Day: “Bringing up the failure of Charles and Diana’s marriage doesn’t achieve much and smacks of Harry’s [complaining].”
Another insider said: “That hurt, and although the king won’t say anything in return, he was deeply upset by some of what William said. Sometimes he feels he is being undermined on all sides.”
The reports come after last week’s announcement that Prince Andrew will give up his royal titles and honors. It’s been said that William and Charles have been at odds over how to deal with the disgraced Duke. Sources claim William thinks his dad is too soft on his scandal-laden uncle, and has plans to oust him even further once he becomes king.
