The unintentional parallels between Prince William and Princess Kate's marriage and that of King Charles and Princess Diana have become more evident.
Revealing a similarity with his father's resentment towards Diana's popularity, the future King harbors comparable sentiments towards his wife.
Despite its subtlety, the future King's irritation at having the mother of three by his side becomes apparent during recent royal engagements.
From dismissive comments about her cooking to urging her with a 'chop-chop' at a summer wedding, or even outright ignoring her, as seen in a September podcast with Princess Anne where Kate struggled to speak, William's jealousy continues to surface.
Consequently, palace aides are diligently reshaping their schedule to accommodate "more and more separate engagements," allowing the royal couple to "cool off."
The insider emphasized the severity of the situation behind the scenes, painting a picture of discord within the palace walls.
