On many occasions, both of Prince Charles‘s sons have made it clear that he made mistakes as a parent.
However, it had appeared that in the past few months that Prince Harry with Meghan Markle were the ones doing the hard-hitting.
Prince William stayed mum as Prince Harry delivered the blows during his Oprah Winfrey interview, followed by appearances on a podcast and an Apple TV series that focused on mental health.
Prince Harry confessed that Prince Charles took part in the generational pain he is enduring and vowed not to repeat the same mistakes with his two children — Archie and Lilibet Diana.
The Duke of Sussex also said that the future King turned his back on him and completely cut him off when he needed him the most.
The harsh comments did not end there. In Markle’s recent interview in The Cut, she dropped the bombshell that Prince Harry felt that he completely lost his father in the “Megxit” process.
In her conversation with New York Magazine, The Duchess of Sussex said: “Harry said to me, ‘I lost my dad in this process. It doesn’t have to be the same for them as it was for me, but that’s his decision.”
Although The Duchess tried to clarify her confession — the damage had already been done. As it turns out, Prince Harry is not the only one who has been busy throwing Prince Charles under the bus.
Prince Harry does things very loudly, but Prince William has quietly dropped a few unflattering revelations about his father.
Recently, royal commentator Dan Wootton wrote a piece with the help of close staff members and friends of Prince William and revealed that he is determined not to repeat the errors of the future King.
In the new column, the royal expert explained that Prince Charles is a workaholic — confirmed by his wife, Camilla Parker Bowles, via her Vogue interview.
Kate Middleton‘s husband’s primary goal is to be a hands-on father to his three children — Prince George, 8, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 4.
Prince William’s pals said he is unapologetic about putting his children first.
The royal author wrote in The Daily Mail: “Prince William is brutally honest with close friends and courtiers about the impact his father’s work had on his childhood following the death of his mother…with his relationship with Prince Charles very much on the mend, the Duke of Cambridge makes explicit his desire to avoid repeating what he believes are the mistakes of his upbringing.”
It was revealed that Prince William is still reeling from the sins of his father.
The writer claimed: “At meetings discussing the family’s future plans in recent months, his own experiences as a grieving schoolboy have, once again, come to the fore. That’s why the Cambridges’ formal move to Windsor will see the family move into the comparatively small Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor Estate, and all three children attend the nearby Lambrook School from next month, is highly significant…he views his most important job as being a dad.”
The author went on to state: “My senior royal insider explained: ‘Prince William has forgiven his father, and relations between them are stronger than they have been in some time, but he has been abundantly clear to all that he won’t repeat the way he was prioritized as a child. He feels Prince Charles’ unquestionable work ethic had a direct impact on his upbringing, especially after the death of his mother. Far too often, his father chose his duties over being a dad.”
He concluded by saying: “It is his overarching, unquestionable mission and motive in life to be the best father possible, especially when his children are this age. He is unapologetic about that… but he believes those duties can be worked around his role as a hands-on father. So, for example, when timing engagements, wherever possible, school pick-up times will be factored in, so either he or the Duchess can be there to pick up the children.”
The two brothers may have more in common than many people believe.
