Prince William and Kate could spark ‘tension’ with King Charles

In other Prince William and Kate news, the Waleses have been warned they may spark “tension” with King Charles amid claims they’re “very keen to do things their own way”. Gordon Rayner from The Telegraph warned: “The Waleses can feel rightly pleased with their thoroughly modern approach to appealing to the masses, but there could yet be tension between them and the King over some of the more traditional ways of representing the royal family.”

He also claimed that William and Kate aren’t too keen to spend time away from their children on foreign tours. He added that the royal couple are unlikely to follow the “tick-box” set out by King Charles.
