Prince William has taken on a significant leadership role within the royal family due to King Charles' declining health.
A recent YouGov poll shows a surge in popularity for the Prince of Wales, surpassing the 75-year-old monarch and highlighting the changing dynamics within the royal family. The survey, reported by the Daily Beast, indicates that William is increasingly calling the shots as King Charles battles an undisclosed form of cancer since the beginning of the year.
A source drew a parallel between Prince William and the late Prince Philip, noting, "Prince 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. He can be scary!"
The insider highlighted William's enforcement role within the family, contrasting King Charles' desire to reunite with Prince Harry against William's firm stance. "Charles would like to see more of Prince Harry, but William, who still refuses to even speak to his brother, isn’t having any of it," the source claimed. "That tells you everything you need to know about who is really in charge."
This shift marks a new phase in the royal family's internal dynamics, with Prince William stepping into a powerful position as King Charles' health issues persist.
