‘Tension’: Shift in Prince William and King Charles’ ‘dynamic’

It’s been claimed that the last few months have seen a shift in the dynamic between King Charles and Prince William for a surprising reason.

The dynamic between Prince William and King Charles appears to have noticeably shifted over the last few months.

According to insiders, things have changed every since Charles’ cancer battle thrust discussions regarding succession into the limelight.

“The dynamics have shifted,” one source shares in the latest issue of US Weekly.

“Charles has wanted to be the monarch for decades,” adds a second source. “Even though he’s battling cancer, he’s not letting that get in the way of his desire to be successful on the throne or a dynamic leader.”

William, meanwhile, “is preparing behind the scenes for when his ascension happens,” continues the second source. “Like his father, he takes being a success in the royal role very seriously.”

However, the conversations and William’s eagerness to step into the role is claimed to have caused “occasional tension” in recent weeks.

The source added that William is likely in talks about transitioning titles and responsibilities, as well as the current state of the UK government to ensure “a smooth transition.”

It’s believed that succession plans were fast-tracked earlier this year after Charles discovered his heartbreaking cancer diagnosis.

“The palace sprung into action,” the source told the outlet. “William and his team have agreed on what they will focus on at the start of his reign and funeral plans for his father.”

“For the most part, Charles is doing well,” the source said of the king, but added that there are still “some concerns, and he knows his reign will be up soon.”

Meanwhile, with Xmas approaching, Prince William and Prince Catherine are preparing to make their annual trip to the late Queen Elizabeth’s country estate in Norfolk, England, with Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis on Christmas Eve, according to The New York Post.

The Sussexes have reportedly yet to receive an invite to Sandringham for the sixth year and will reportedly spend Christmas with Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland.

However, it’s understood the Waleses will reach out to the Sussexes to “wish them a Happy Christmas” in the spirit of the year.

The latest on the royals comes after King Charles and Queen Camilla enjoyed their royal visit to Australia last month.

Last week, Australian senators voted to censure an Indigenous colleague who yelled at King Charles during a reception in Parliament House.

The censure of independent Senator Lidia Thorpe is a symbolic gesture that records her colleagues’ disapproval of her conduct during the first visit to Australia by a British monarch in 13 years.
