There is always some drama swirling among the royals. According to reports, King Charles is feeling a bit pushed to the side in the monarchy. After all, the next generation, namely Prince William and Kate Middleton, are stepping up and showing out.
In early December, the king hosted an extravagant banquet for the President of Germany. However, the real stars that evening at Buckingham Palace were Kate and William. I think Kate’s decision to sport the breathtaking Strathmore Rose Tiara stole everyone’s thunder. And while Prince William and Kate’s presence is attracting more attention, it apparently isn’t sitting well with King Charles.
A source alleges the King is feeling pushed aside
US Weekly reported that a source claimed that Charles isn’t happy with the recent optics. In particular, Charles doesn’t like the public’s perception that William was behind Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor losing his position. Charles was allegedly “not thrilled” about these whispers. “He doesn’t feel great about it, as he has finally attained the position he has waited for his whole life. Now that he’s king, everyone is focused on who will come next,” the source claimed.
The insider continued, “Charles wants William to succeed, but William can be strong-minded and stubborn.” Of course, there have been rumors of friction as William put forth his ideas for a more stripped-down monarchy. Naturally, Charles, who waited a long time to become king, could possibly bristle at William’s future plans.
A second source stated, “No power has been relinquished to William. William has his own office and staff separate from the king, and he and Charles work closely together. Charles believes William will do an incredible job as king, and he’s very supportive.” The second insider added, “[When] they don’t agree, [William] respects his father’s decisions.”
