‘Infuriated’ William Focuses on Royal Future Amid Sussexes’ ‘Faux-Royal’ Tours
Prince William is diligently working on securing the future of the monarchy alongside his cancer-stricken father, King Charles. As the Prince of Wales enjoys the annual summer break at Balmoral with Kate Middleton and their children, he remains focused on family and royal duties, even as tensions with his estranged brother, Prince Harry, continue to simmer.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are preparing to travel to Colombia to attend the first World Ministerial Conference on the Elimination of Violence Against Children, which aligns with their new initiative, The Parents Network, aimed at supporting parents whose children have been affected by social media bullying.
However, this trip has reportedly "infuriated" Prince William and left King Charles "upset," according to royal author Angela Levin. The issue arises from the fact that Harry and Meghan’s ventures increasingly resemble traditional royal tours, despite their departure from official royal duties. Their recent trip to Nigeria, which mirrored a classic royal tour, also sparked unease within the royal family.
Levin expressed concerns that Harry and Meghan are attempting to imitate royal duties without the official status, stating, "It doesn’t look good. They aren’t representing the royals, but they are trying to. Unless they break away completely, they don’t have the right to do this."
Meanwhile, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond suggested that Prince William is likely to hold a summit with King Charles during their Balmoral stay. Although these summits are less formal than they were in the past, they remain crucial for the royals to reflect on recent events and strategize for the future. The primary goal of these discussions is to ensure that the monarchy remains relevant in the modern age.
As Harry and Meghan continue their ‘faux-royal’ tours, William and Charles are expected to collaborate on strategies to protect the monarchy’s integrity and relevance amid these ongoing challenges.
