British Royal News: Prince William’s Disdain For His Father Prince Charles Revealed
According to royal expert and author Robert Lacey, who recently wrote the book, Battle of Brothers: William and Harry — The Inside Story of a Family in Tumult, he says that Prince William apparently felt an open disdain and aggression towards his father throughout his childhood and teen years. He especially hated the arguments that Prince Charles used to have with his mother Princess Diana, who died back in 1997. “I hate you, Papa. I hate you so much,” William allegedly shouted at Charles, now 71, at one point. “Why do you make Mummy cry all the time?”
Lacey says that the only consolidation that William had at the time was the fact that he would one day be King of England, especially when his parents’ fighting intensified behind the scenes.
