Prince William may have been preparing to take over the throne for most, if not all, of his life, but the pressure has reportedly been mounting over the past year for obvious reasons.
The Prince of Wales, 42, has understandably had a lot to deal with over the past year due to his father King Charles and wife Kate Middleton‘s respective cancer battles. He has been filling in for his father a lot over the past year while he undergoes treatment for cancer, and Prince William is reportedly feeling the pressure to take over the throne now more than ever!
Prince William Is Reportedly Feeling The Pressure Following King Charles And Kate Middleton's Cancer Battles
According to royal expert Hilary Fordwich, the father-of-three is not taking his current and future responsibilities lightly, and is feeling pressured to do the best job possible and change the monarchy for the better!
"Prince William is dedicated to duty, as imbued in him by Queen Elizabeth II, who tutored him every Sunday regarding his royal duties," Fordwich told Fox News Digital.
"He's also under huge generational pressure since the increasing public popularity of the monarchy ranks highest for both him and Princess Catherine," she added.
Prince Harry And Prince Andrew Are Reportedly Fearful Of What The Future Holds
And if we are to believe Fordwich and various other royal experts, certain members of the royal family, such as his disgraced uncle Prince Andrew and his estranged brother Prince Harry, are quite fearful of what the future holds for them once Prince William becomes monarch, because he "does not suffer fools gladly."
Fordwich claimed that both his uncle and brother are "wary of his wrath," adding: "Harry's whinge fest Spare, with its acerbic accusations against the royal family, particularly his denigration of the Princess of Wales, rendered it the 'final straw' as William told those around him."
As well as feeling that Prince Harry "bitterly attacked" him and his wife, Prince William reportedly also believes that Prince Andrew "put the family in jeopardy" over his alleged friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
"As a millennial, he won't and can't risk public association with disastrous members of the family who merely serve as distractions from public duty," Fordwich explained.
Prince William Is Reportedly Similar To Grandfather Prince Philip, And Is 'On His Way To Being The Toughest Ruler The Family Has Ever Seen'
Anyone who doesn't fit Prince William's vision for the monarchy is seemingly right to be fearful, with a palace insider telling In Touch: "It's no secret that anyone who pushes back against him will be swiftly shown the door. He's not willing to take any nonsense, and the word is he's already on his way to being the toughest ruler the family has ever seen."
This seems to echo what royal expert Ian Pelham Turner also said about the Prince of Wales, who he thought had more similarities to his grandfather Prince Philip as opposed to his father, King Charles. He said: "I talk to people close to him who say he is very tough to work with and relentless in his desires to achieve. He does not suffer fools gladly."
Pelham Turner went on to say: "It has often been said that King Charles finds it very hard to make decisions, especially about his two sons and how to deal with Harry. William is far more forthright, like his grandfather Prince Philip, who would push people out of the way if they stood in front of him. He is extremely ambitious."
