Since the coronation of King Charles III, there has been a change of narrative. The war is no longer between the royals who live in London and those who are self-exiled to Montecito, California.
After Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have decided to stop attacking the Royal Family, a war of ideas and leaked stories have erupted between King Charles and the Wales couple.
Catherine, Princess of Wales, and the heir to the throne have used several instances in the past weeks to let King Charles know that they do not need his permission to make moves.
Middleton attended a flower show a few days ago and upstaged King Charles and Queen Camilla. Facing backlash, a friend of Middleton told the Daily Beast that she does not need The King‘s permission to participate in royal engagements.
A royal source, who spoke to OK, is now revealing that Kate Middleton and King Charles do not see eye to eye on the role that Prince George of Wales should start playing in the monarchy.
The source revealed: “Kate and Charles are very similar in a lot of ways: Both love what the Monarchy stands for, feel a deep duty to Britain and the Commonwealth, and share the late Queen Elizabeth II‘s belief that royals should ‘never complain, never explain. However, they’re very different regarding how they think the Monarchy should operate in 2023.”
King Charles needs Kate Middleton’s permission
Kate Middleton grew up in a home with her two parents and two siblings in a loving and supportive environment. She had an idyllic childhood and traveled the world with her family.
Compared to Prince William and Prince Harry — who, yes, had a life of luxury — had to deal with the chaos of being members of the Royal Family and being exposed to the media circus since birth.
The two brothers watched the destruction of their parents’ marriage play out in the media. Prince Harry and Prince William grew up amid a bitter heir and spare rivalry.
And they spent many months away from their family, for they were sent to boarding school. Middleton is protective of Prince George and is not in a rush for him to play an active and public role in the monarchy.
Therefore, King Charles does not have the final word on which activity or engagement the young heir partakes in. His Majesty needs Middleton’s permission for his oldest grandson to take more responsibility.
Kate Middleton is ready for war to protect her son
Kate Middleton has made it clear that she is ready to start a full-blown war with The King to protect her son’s childhood and privacy.
One source revealed via OK: “Her stance is only if she signs off on it. To her, the King’s word is not final when it comes to her children. She’s been very clear about that. And if that starts a rift or even a full-out war, then so be it.”
According to the media outlet, Middleton and King Charles have one central sticking point that is viewed as archaic.
The associate shared: “His Majesty is far more traditional and is not interested in changing with the times on this subject. He thinks George should go to boarding school as he, his siblings, and his sons did.”
Queen Camilla is aware of the disagreements between her husband, King Charles, and Middleton, and she has decided not to intervene in the complicated situation.
The person went on to say: “Camilla is a fan of Kate’s, but she doesn’t intervene in these instances. She has to support Charles’ decisions as his queen. William and Kate both know that when he reaches his teens, they’ll have less of a leg to stand on, so for the next three years, they’re going to protect him as much as they can. Her children’s happiness comes first.”
Prince William does not like feuding with his father and has, therefore, stepped back and let “his wife take the lead when determining George’s growing role within the Firm.”
Nonetheless, in a recent interview, Prince William hinted that he is siding with his wife.
The heir to the throne claimed: “I want George to grow up in a real, living environment. I don’t want him growing up behind palace walls. He has to be out there.”
King Charles will win the battle when Prince George is a teenager
The source concluded by saying that Kate Middleton and Prince William are aware that once Prince George becomes a teenager, they will not be able to shield him and go against King Charles.
The insider said: “William and Kate both know that when he reaches his teens, they’ll have less of a leg to stand on, so for the next three years, they’re going to protect him as much as they can. While Kate is loyal to the royal family, her children’s happiness comes first.”
The Waleses are taking a page from the Duke of Sussex.
I think that Kate is right he needs to be in touch with the normal people not only the ho ray heneris of this world we need a king that’s in touch with the public which Charles isn’t William and Kate are and I hope that George is as well but Charles has to step back and let the young ones take the royal family into the next venture
They’ve been married for years. WHY do you still call her Kate Middleton???
