Thousands of articles have been written about Prince William, more specifically about how he should have been King of England after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.
Many royal authors and pundits have claimed that King Charles III is an interim or transitional monarch because Prince William is ready and equipped to reign.
They also claimed that Prince William was closer to the people and would thus serve his nation in a better capacity.
Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton, have also enjoyed thousands of headlines dedicated to their immense popularity.
In almost every poll done in the past year, Kate Middleton and Prince William came out on top as the most beloved members of the Royal Family.
These headlines and positive poll numbers have created an uncomfortable reality for King Charles. According to one royal expert, King Charles has become very jealous of the fact that his son and daughter-in-law have stolen the limelight from him and his important job of being King.
Clive Irving, the royal columnist at The Daily Beast, shed more light on King Charles’s situation by writing: “There’s a great deal of feeling that William understands the mood and the reality on the ground far more than Charles ever will.”
The author of The Last Queen revealed that the envious King has therefore taken serious measures to resolve the matter.
In a surprising move, King Charles has some mind-boggling negotiations with Prince William and Kate Middleton on the amount of limelight that they can receive.
He shared in the piece: “The King has come up with a workaround, however — one that acknowledges the Waleses’ popularity while retaining a controlling stake, claims the royal author.”
He added: “They worked out a kind of accommodation of how much limelight each is going to be allowed because Charles is always very jealous of other people stealing his limelight. He’s worked out a deal now, whereby William and Kate can have an allotted percentage of the limelight.”
Believe it or not, there is a specific percentage of limelight given to each party.
According to the royal author, it is unclear the exact percentage, but “maybe 40 percent [for the Waleses’] and he keeps 60 percent. That seems to be the working arrangement.”
The limelight contract was in place during King Charles and Queen Camilla‘s recent state visit to France.
PEOPLE Magazine reported: “While King Charles and Queen Camilla headed to France for a three-day state visit this week, Kate Middleton and Prince William largely stayed out of the public eye – and there’s a reason for the royal strategy. In those days, Prince William and Princess Kate have been out of the royal spotlight – likely a thought-out strategy to keep the focus on the work of the King and Queen during their tour.”
That might explain why Prince William will take a solo trip to Singapore, and why Kate Middleton no longer wears fancy dresses and sexy high heels during royal engagements.
Prince William and his wife now bend backward to make the King happy or at least less envious.
