The publication quoted the friend of the future king of Britain as saying “William and Catherine have three children under the age of 11, so that is very much their focus right now.
“William neither expects nor wants Charles ever to abdicate,” Prince William’s friend further said.
However, the friends said the Prince of Wales “expects to be given more influence and control” over the monarchy as King Charles ages.
The sources say such expectations are likely to lead to conflict between King Charles and William as the monarch is “allergic to anyone telling him what to do, and William is not exactly famed for his subtlety.”
