Prince William sets example as he leads Royal family through tough year

Prince William won hearts as he showcased great leadership skills in leading the Royal family while King Charles and Kate Middleton underwent cancer treatment.

A Royal expert heaped praises on William, the Prince of Wales, as the Royal family's "rock,” noting that he has proven himself to be a capable and comforting presence.

Writing for The Independent, historian Tessa Dunlop noted that the Prince has solidified his position as a future king with his ability to navigate the difficult year with dignity and poise.

She penned, "Naysayers who doubted William's mettle have been forced to rethink. The Prince of Wales is royalty's new rock."

"A reincarnation of his late grandmother, the steadfast anchor who changed it up with designer stubble when his wife was out of action, a woman's man who unambiguously declared 2024 more than brutal, in fact, the toughest year of his life.

The expert continued: "The nation fell in love with Diana’s firstborn all over again. We had forgotten how tall he is, and how comfortable he is in his own skin. 

"So comfy even Trump couldn't bring himself to manhandle the future king on his pop-over to Paris. (Macron who? The French president was the small one). 

"Without doubt, the rebirth of the Waleses as the country's number one couple has moved our monarchy into a new space. These days they appear to be a double act, even when apart."
