Move over, Harry — RadarOnline.com has learned there’s a new royal family feud brewing between King Charles and his other son, Prince William. Reports suggest that the distance between the two is growing amid ongoing tension.
Sources reveal that the relationship between the 76-year-old king and his eldest son has devolved into what some describe as “total silence.” The rift reportedly began after William made recent remarks about his upbringing, his parents’ divorce, and his future role as royal successor — comments that reportedly upset King Charles.
In a candid interview, William shared his commitment to providing his children — son George, 12, daughter Charlotte, 10, and son Louis, 7 — with the calm family life he never quite enjoyed.
“I think it’s really important that the atmosphere is created at home,” William said. “You have to have that feeling of warmth, that feeling of safety, security, and love.”
Elaborating further, he remarked, “My parents got divorced… so that lasted a short period of time.”
### A Kingdom Under Attack
Royal correspondent Phil Dampier weighed in on William’s comments, telling *Women’s Day*: “Bringing up the failure of Charles and Diana’s marriage doesn’t achieve much and smacks of Harry’s complaining. The king and the prince need to be singing from the same song sheet.”
Dampier added, “As far as Prince Harry and Prince Andrew are concerned, they have their hands full without William rocking the boat.”
Despite this, William’s reflections on his family life reportedly hit a nerve with King Charles. William said, “I want to create a world in which my son is proud of what we do, and I hope we don’t go back to some of the practices in the past that Harry and I had to grow up with.”
A royal insider responded to William’s remarks: “That hurt, and although the king won’t say anything in return, he was deeply upset by some of what William said. Sometimes he feels he is being undermined on all sides.”
### Tense Family Reunion
William is also reportedly still reeling over Prince Harry’s recent rare meeting with their father. After months of talks about reconciliation, Charles agreed to a sit-down with his youngest son.
One source at the time said, “William is staggered that his father’s allowing Harry back into the fold like this prodigal son figure.”
Their nearly hour-long formal meeting took place on September 10 at Clarence House, coinciding with Harry’s visit to London. The last time Charles and Harry had a face-to-face reunion was in February 2024, following the king’s revelation of his cancer diagnosis.
### William’s Royal Duty
Insiders reveal that King Charles is currently busy downplaying Harry’s comments made in California. Now, he must also contend with William’s critical statements.
“All the time the king is battling his cancer and doing his best to be a unifying influence in an increasingly diverse time for society,” the source added. “Anything that questions him or how he is doing the job is not helpful.”
“It’s all about tradition and continuity, and William, who took an oath of allegiance at the coronation, needs to remember that.”
