King Charles Advises Prince William To Prioritize Family Over Crown

King Charles has expressed regret for prioritizing royal duties over family during his early years as a father and has advised his eldest son, Prince William, to avoid making the same mistake by putting his children first. Prince William is noted for organizing his royal commitments around his children’s schedules and is committed to being present for his family, a shift that King Charles and his former butler, Grant Harrold, have praised as unprecedented for a monarch. Meanwhile, Prince William reportedly harbors strong resentment toward his uncle, Prince Andrew, intending to distance him from the family once he becomes king due to Andrew's controversial past, especially related to his association with Jeffrey Epstein. King Charles is also managing a strained relationship with his younger son, Prince Harry, who must demonstrate he is not a burden if he wishes to reconcile with the king, who has focused on protecting his peace following a cancer diagnosis. These dynamics highlight a royal family grappling with internal conflicts while navigating the balance between public duty and private family life.
