In a polite manner, it seems that Prince William and his spouse, Kate Middleton, are letting King Charles III and Queen Camilla know that they do not have the proper experience and training to help raise their children.
According to royal experts, the future Queen and heir to the throne are not too interested in King Charles and Queen Camilla playing major roles in the raising of their children — Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
It is not because they are bad parents or grandparents, but because of the way they grew up and the manner in which they behave. Prince William and his wife believe that the Royal Family is too formal and too glued to ancient traditions.
In a bizarre twist, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle revealed in their Netflix series that Prince William and Kate Middleton are too formal and not big fans of hugging or walking around with no shoes.
Not being able to rely on King Charles and Queen Camilla to be role models for their children, Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, have turned to her parents, Carole Middleton and Michael Middleton, to be the influential forces in their kids’ lives.
Royal experts, Jennie Bond and Tom Quinn appeared on Channel 5’s documentary, When the Middletons Met the Monarchy, to talk about the tension that now exists between the royal households.
Quinn said the Royal Family is “too formal and stuck in its ways.” The author stated: “I suspect everyone thinks that in terms of the children, the royal family will inevitably have the most influence, but that is entirely wrong. It will be the Middletons that have the influence because the royal family is too formal, it’s too stuck in its ways.”
According to Bond, there is some “tension” over which side of the family gets the opportunity to spend more time with the children.
It is believed that the future Queen heavily relies on her mother, Carole Middleton, for “help, advice, and guidance” about her three young children rather than King Charles and Queen Camilla.
The commentator went on to say: “I suppose there is a little tension at times between who gets to see the grandkids the most. Kate will always turn to Carole for help, advice, guidance, and just get together and romping around with the kids – possibly before she would get together with Camilla and Charles.”
Richard Kay chimed in to reveal that Carole and Michael Middleton are now playing an important role in Prince William’s life as well. He explained: “Prince William has said, ‘Look I am not always going to be available for the royal family, I have another family and that is Mike and Carole Middleton and that is very important to me and Kate and my children’.”
The Waleses have to work a tight rope.
