King Charles III had plenty of years to think about what his role as the Monarch of the United Kingdom would be. After many years of imagining, the now-king knows what to do and where he wants to lead the British Monarchy. However, Prince William probably won’t have the same scenario.
The King is reportedly expressing some concerns over how the Prince of Wales might choose to lead in the future because he feels that his legacy is at stake. Daily Mail reported that Charles III is worried about his son’s custody of the Duchy of Cornwall because he put all of his faith in William to carry out his vision and legacy.
“When he was running the duchy, Charles was recognized as a man of the land, with not just an abiding love for the countryside, but a deep knowledge of rural issues too. William, on the other hand, has yet to find the time to develop the philosophical zeal for the duchy that his father exhibited over the decades.”
King Charles III and Prince William have very different outlooks for their reigns and might drastically change their relationship over the months to come. However, the Prince of Wales has proven to be worthy of fulfilling Charles III’s shoes.
