Prince William’s place in the Royal Family is strongly steeped in history and tradition, and he appears to be stepping into the powerful role previously held by his late grandpa, Prince Philip. The Duke of Edinburgh died in 2021, and the Royal Family lost a no-nonsense role model who was as strict with his decisions as a rod of iron. And now, the Prince of Wales intends to use the same ‘disciplinarian’ technique to deal with family problems. Keep scrolling to learn more!
William Has Stepped Into a Disciplinarian Role, Following Prince Philip
Prince William is filling the shoes of a vital individual recognized for managing the monarchy with a hard hand. According to rumors, the future King is already taking a similar approach to his grandfather, particularly when dealing with his estranged brother, Prince Harry.
The typical royal feud between the brothers began in 2020 when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex resigned from their royal duties. The separated royal couple also made various charges against the family, escalating the animosity.
Despite King Charles’ desire to forgive and forget what Harry did, William has maintained a firm attitude. When it comes to keeping other royals in check, the heir to the throne appears to be following in his grandfather’s footsteps. According to a source who spoke with the Daily Beast, William is in charge and serves as the family’s ‘disciplinarian.’
They said, “There is a sense that William has stepped into the Prince Philip role. Philip ruled the family with a rod of iron and you saw when he died that discipline collapsed. Now William is calling the shots when it comes to family discipline.”
William has developed a reputation for being stubborn, and he always sticks to his decisions. Jennie Bond, a royal analyst, said: “Obviously, as heir to the throne, his word carries a lot of weight in the family, and I think it’s true that he has been prepared to take a tough stand on a number of issues, including Andrew and Harry.” It appears that William is not ready to burn bridges with his brother anytime soon, following in his grandfather’s footsteps.
As for Charles, he is torn between William’s new obstinate role and his feelings for Harry.
