The publication quoted Prince William’s friends as saying that the future king of UK “expects to be given more influence and control” over the monarchy as his father King Charles ages.

Other insiders claimed Prince William’s such expectations would likely to lead to conflict between father and son, saying that King Charles is “allergic to anyone telling him what to do, and William is not exactly famed for his subtlety.”

A former palace staffer also shared his views, telling the Daily Beast “I think it is broadly seen as a productive rivalry, rather than a destructive one, because William respects his father’s ‘rank’ as head of The Firm.”
