Prince William of Wales is in the middle of a controversy because he is being accused of ignoring a significant rule from his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, after giving a statement over the ongoing war in the Middle East.
The son of King Charles III said that since the Hamas terrorist attack on 7th “too many have been killed“, adding that “like so many others, I want to see an end to the fighting as soon as possible“, words that many assured would worry the late Queen if she were alive.
These statements became controversial because monarchy members, in particular the late Queen Elizabeth II, are not supposed to get involved in political matters and are expected to maintain neutrality, giving royal experts much to talk about the possible reaction of the late monarch.
For her part, the journalist Diana Moran said, “I don’t think he should have been saying anything like this at all. I think his grandmother would have been very concerned to have heard him interfering with it“, even when he is the future King.
Although many others support the Moran statement, other experts like Chris Wild agree with Prince William by showing happiness that he follows in his late mother’s, Princess Diana, footsteps and saying, “He’s the perfect person to speak up right now because his voice is powerful“.
