Prince William appears to be prioritizing forgiveness amid current tensions within the royal family, especially while going through challenging personal circumstances. The Prince of Wales has faced recent blows, including his wife Kate Middleton’s health problems and his father King Charles’ cancer diagnosis. These developments have reportedly softened his approach, according to royal author Hugo Vickers.
In an interview with the sunVickers commented on how the dynamics of the royal family have changed over time. “I think, as time goes on, sometimes the bitterness becomes less strong, and the King has been, of course, brilliant because he has not responded in any way to any of the mockery that has come from Prince Harry or Meghan . ” he said, praising King Charles for his moderation.
However, Vickers noted that while King Charles may have taken a more diplomatic approach, Prince William’s feelings could still be raw, particularly given the personal nature of Prince Harry’s criticism. “I think Prince William is probably, I imagine, rather less forgiving and in some ways the pain is greater.
Harry attacked Catherine and that’s not very nice. I mean, no one likes that,” Vickers explained, noting the impact of Prince Harry’s comments on William’s wife, Kate Middleton. Despite the pain, Vickers suggested that a reconciliation might be possible in the future. “There will possibly come a time when they appear together in public for various reasons,” he said, hinting at a potential reunion between Prince William and Prince Harry.
Reflecting on Prince William’s current state of mind, Vickers acknowledged the Prince’s focus on his immediate family. “I think Prince William probably has enough worrying about his wife and his father getting better,” he added, underscoring the personal challenges Prince William faces while supporting his loved ones.
Amid these turbulent times, Prince William’s approach suggests he may be open to healing past wounds, while also focusing on the well-being of his family and the responsibilities that come with his role as Prince of Wales.
