The future king has tarnished his special day.
In a difficult year for the British royal family, Prince William turns 42 in the midst of a complicated family situation. As King Charles and Queen Consort Kate Middleton battle cancer, the heir to the throne faces deep sadness over the deteriorating relationship between the royal family and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
According to him, the main cause of concern for William is the distance that persists between Buckingham Palace and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Meghan Markle has been identified as the main person responsible for this discomfort, by flatly refusing to allow her children, Archie and Lilibet, to visit her grandfather, King Charles.
This situation has caused great pain for the monarch, who longs to see his grandchildren. Unfortunately, Meghan has imposed a condition for the children to travel to London and that is that she and Harry accompany them. A demand that she puts in a commitment to the Royal House, distanced from the couple for years.
Given this scenario, the king would be planning to travel to the United States to avoid moments of tension in the palace and thus be able to meet his grandchildren. However, this solution does not seem to satisfy Meghan, who refuses to let the children visit her grandfather without her presence.
In the midst of this complicated family situation, the heir to the throne is forced to celebrate his birthday in an atmosphere of great sadness. First, due to the delicate health of his father, the king, added to Meghan Markle's refusal to facilitate the meeting with her grandchildren, they have clouded a day that should be a celebration for the future monarch.
It is unfortunate that, at such a difficult time for the royal family, the differences and disagreements between the Sussexes and the rest of the Royal House continue to hinder the possibility of a reconciliation. Meanwhile, Prince William must face his birthday with a heavy heart due to the difficulties that afflict his family.
