Prince William’s destiny was etched in stone the day he was born.
Read on to examine the unique challenges Prince William faces as a future king.
When William becomes king, he’ll inevitably be compared to his grandmother.
However, the Prince of Wales has already taken steps to ensure those comparisons are more favorable than not.
As a result, William would rather make an end-run around the tabloids than deal with them directly.
“The monarchy no longer looks solid it looks vulnerable,” Republic’s Graham Smith toldThe Guardian.
“The spell has been broken.”
Of course, the media landscape has changed radically since then, particularly with the rise of social media.
Upon the queen’s death, the media scrutiny of Prince William and his wife immediately intensified.
“Until [the queen’s death], there was a buffer between him and the throne.
That buffer has now been removed.”
However, he was able to “compartmentalize” those feelings.
“William is strong-minded, stubborn sometimes.
According to a source, William’s biggest challenge in this endeavor may well be his own expansive ambitions.
How that will play out, however, remains to be seen.
“The Queen doesn’t like too much, too early.
“It must feel as if he is in a lonely place at times.
According to Fordwich, King Charles is reportedly hopeful that Harry can somehow return to the family.
“I don’t think that’s going to happen.”
However, a royal family with fewer working royals may be exactly what William wants.
According to Eden’s source, William is looking to slim down the monarchy.
“He sees the small European monarchies as the model for the future,” the source stated.
