The English king is concerned that the Prince of Wales will jeopardize his ascension to the throne in the future
Before Prince Harry began attacking the Windsor family from his residence in California, King Charles III had a closer relationship with him than with his eldest son, Prince William. This is one of the most surprising revelations in the new biography about Kate Middleton that will be published in early August, but some chapters have already been leaked through the 'Daily Mail'.
In the book, Jobson details how, while the Duke of Sussex and his father are estranged in a kind of cold war, the monarch and his first-born have strengthened their relationship. However, despite Kate Middleton's efforts to maintain family closeness, tensions occasionally arise between them.
"The king's relationship with his two sons has been complicated over the years. Even now that Charles is on the Throne, differences of opinion and conflicts can arise with the Prince of Wales. Although they love each other, they sometimes clash, and it is necessary to treat William with great tact," can be read in the book, according to an anonymous source at Buckingham Palace. Critical Voices Report.
One of the issues that has caused the greatest friction between King Charles and his son is William's dangerous hobby of flying in a helicopter with his family, a practice that even worried the late Queen Elizabeth II. The monarch tried, unsuccessfully, to convince her grandson to abandon this custom, fearing for the safety of the line of succession to the throne.
Isabel II's concern was not unfounded. On December 7, 1967, a Royal Fleet helicopter crash shook the family. Although it was not carrying any royals that day, the helicopter crashed in Berkshire, killing all four crew members. Since then, the queen has been banned from flying in a helicopter and she always feared for the safety of her family when they used this means of transport.
Despite warnings from his father and the family tradition of avoiding flying by helicopter, William continues to use this mode of transportation, especially during school holidays, taking his family from Kensington Palace to his residence. him in Norfolk. Although Carlos III recognizes that his son is an exceptional pilot, he insists that zero risk does not exist and asked William to sign an official document assuming responsibility for his actions, anticipating the possible consequences that an accident could have for the monarchy.
