Prince William seems to be in a tight spot right now as both his father and wife have been battling cancer. According to a royal source, William has hit a pause on many of his other commitments. He has gone out to focus on caring for his wife and young family. Meanwhile, King Charles has bounced back to work with renewed zeal but still needs to adjust his health. The situation has pushed William to the forefront, taking on more responsibilities. How will he overcome this grave situation?
Prince William Remains in a Tight Spot!
A royal source said, “Prince William is asking: ‘How can I use my platform for good, to create positive change? They added that the future King has rolled up his sleeves to ensure the work begins as soon as possible. Meanwhile, the relationship between William and his brother, Harry, remains frosty. And speculations about Kate Middleton’s health and her cancer treatment add to William’s difficult situation.
The insider noted how there can’t be so many people whose wives and fathers have been diagnosed with cancer simultaneously. Richard Palmer told the BBC, “It must feel as if he is in a lonely place at times.” Additionally, Royal author Pauline Maclaran thinks that Prince William feels like the weight of the world is on him. In other news, the Prince of Wales relies on a new “inner circle” of confidantes as Princess Catherine undergoes preventive chemotherapy.
Unsurprisingly, Prince Harry won’t be part of Prince William’s close-knit group. All thanks to his departure from royal duties in 2020 and his tell-all memoir, “Spare.” BBC correspondent Jennie Bond noted that William and Harry’s fallout has affected not just them but the rest of the family. She added, “This is a time when William needs all the love and support he can get from his family.”
William’s New Gang of Confidante
Furthermore, Bond reveals that Prince William has been spending more time with Peter Phillips and cousin-in-law Mike Tindall. Both the royals also attended the recent Buckingham Palace garden party. Jennie concluded, “[Harry] is not, and will not, be here to help or provide a shoulder to cry on.” Moreover, the BBC correspondent highlights that Prince Phillips is a cousin who is almost like a brother to Prince William. “Peter is incredibly down-to-earth, solid, and has been there for both William and Harry in good and bad times.”
Peter Phillips played a vital role at Prince Philip’s funeral by walking between Prince William and Harry to keep the peace. Jennie concluded that William needs people he can count on, and Phillips and Tindall can join him when he eventually becomes King. When Prince William ascends to the throne, he will have a band of loyal and close relatives by his side. They will help him represent the monarchy.
It seems almost a dream to witness Harry extending support to Prince William. Do you agree? Meanwhile, keep an eye on TV Season & Spoilers for your daily fix of royal scoops!
