With Elizabeth II dead at 96, the royal family appears to have put their differences aside, at least for the duration of the mourning period until September 19. While the media has talked a lot about the tensions between Harry and William, less is known that William’s relationship with his father has not always been easy.
Like all families, the Royal Family of England is marked by dramasthem tensions, jealousies. You have certainly heard of the rocky relationship between Harry and William, the differences in point of view (understatement) between Meghan and Kate. But a few years ago, relations between William and his father were more than stormy. If today William the Crown Prince is a pillar for King Charles III, the king’s eldest son has not always been kind to his father.
It must be said that the Diana’s brutal death 25 years ago complicated things. At the time William was a teenager, he saw very badly the unpacking of the very intimate life of his parents in the public square. He resents Prince Charles for having had an adulterous relationship with Camilla during the time of his marriage.
Prince Charles, himself marked by a difficult relationship with his father Prince Philip, had a hard time expressing his feelings. Talking about love, Diana knew how to do it so well. Charles was brought up to keep his feelings to himself. Never complain… the firm’s doctrine.
