The author of The Making of a King: King Charles III and the Modern Monarchy says "William is trying to normalize it. They're not in denial and there’s a lot of thought being given to it, which was not always the case.”

The royal author said, “Crucially, it's both of them — William and Catherine.”

Also, in his book, Hardman says Prince William feels that training his heir Prince George is paramount.

The royal author quoted a family friend as saying, "In his view, it’s not far off the most important job he has – raising the next King."

However, the palace insider claimed, "There is no expectation that any royal duties are going to kick in until George is well into his 20s."
