Prince William has become an even more vital pillar in the royal family, supporting his wife, Kate Middleton, and father, King Charles, as they both navigate their cancer diagnoses and treatments. After taking some time off to be with his and Kate’s children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis – Prince William is now ready to return to his royal duties. While he may have a meeting with his brother, Prince Harry, in the near future, their troubled relationship and past meetings ending in conflict might make this a bad idea. Currently, Prince William is focused on helping his wife, Kate Middleton, during this challenging time. Recently, he broke his silence on social media, providing an update to the public about her condition.
The Feud Between Prince William and Prince Harry
The rift between Prince William and Prince Harry has been well-documented. In Harry’s book, Spare, he not only criticized Kate Middleton but also made negative comments about their stepmother, Camilla, and his father, King Charles. The relationship between the two brothers has deteriorated to the point where they no longer speak to each other. It is rumored that Prince William doesn’t even want to be in the same room as his brother. The release of the book only worsened their already strained relationship.
Prince William’s Stance on Harry’s Return to Royal Life
When King Charles received his cancer diagnosis, Prince Harry rushed to the UK to be with his father. Although there were some warm exchanges during their meeting, Prince William made it clear that he would not allow Harry to return to royal life. The future king had already expressed his disapproval of the idea, and their private meetings at Sandringham further solidified his stance. William’s support for Kate Middleton and his anger towards his brother’s behavior have contributed to the deteriorating relationship between the two.
Prince William’s Desire for an Apology from Harry
In contrast to the numerous outbursts from Prince Harry, Prince William and other royal family members chose not to publicly comment on the situation. According to Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine, Prince William is open to speaking with his brother, but only if he receives a genuine apology. William believes that Harry should take responsibility for his years of rudeness and slurs aimed at him, as well as their late mother, Princess Diana. Until then, Prince William has no interest in engaging with his brother.
Prince William’s Role in Kate Middleton’s Health Updates
After Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis was announced, there was a lot of speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding her health. While Kensington Palace remained silent, Prince William provided minor updates about his wife during his royal duties. According to author Alexander Larman, Prince William’s inclination to follow the motto “never complain, never explain” influenced the decision to not publicly address Kate’s health issues. The royal family understands the importance of setting an example and refraining from engaging with trolls.
Prince William Breaks His Silence
On April 10th, Prince William ended his silence and took to Twitter to recognize English soccer player Rachel Daly for her retirement from the international team. Prince William, known for his love of sports, is a well-known supporter of the Aston Villa soccer team and jokingly mentioned Daly focusing on her club team. This tweet signifies Prince William’s return to social media after a period of silence.
In conclusion, Prince William has proven to be a committed husband, father, and member of the royal family, stepping up his efforts to support his loved ones. Despite the ongoing feud with Prince Harry and the challenges that come with the royal spotlight, Prince William remains dedicated to his responsibilities.
