Prince William and King Charles reportedly had words over Christmas as the two royals can’t see eye to eye over the future of the monarchy.
King Charles, who has been in the driving seat since 2022, is said to have had a strained relationship with his first born over the past year. The reason? It’s reported that Charles and Prince William have opposing views on the monarchy’s future, something which the heir has the power to change when he’s eventually king.
The royals enjoy a Christmas walkabout every December 25. Fans line-up in Norfolk to see the senior members of The Firm walk to church for a Christmas Day service. However, it seems the pair didn’t appear to be in a bad way in front of the cameras – thankfully.
Although sources have now claimed that this wasn’t the case behind closed doors.
King Charles and Prince William’s ‘row’ during Christmas
It’s claimed that the father and son were arguing over King Charles’ decision to invite Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie on the Christmas walk, something which Prince William wasn’t keen on.
Rob Shutter’s ShutterScoop claims it has nothing to do with the heir’s cousins. But more their innocent link to their father Andre Mountbatten-Windsor. Due to Andrew’s high profile controversies recently, William reportedly fears any appearance that includes the princesses and The Firm could “drag the monarchy into scandal”.
Shutter alleges Charles and William are “at war” over the choice, and William stands “strongly opposed”. In the end, Charles “overruled him”. And the two princesses attended the joyous occasion with their family.
“William said it was a disaster waiting to happen,” a source said. “”
