Royal Family News: This Is Why Prince William Doesn’t WANT To Be King

British royal family news reveals that the monarchy is a living, breathing institution. Despite claims that the outfit is outdated, stuffy, and lifeless, those assertions could not be further from the truth.

Disgraced Prince Harry is one of the most vocal opponents of the crown, but is it a coincidence that he will never hold its highest office? He is on the outside looking in, the spare to the heir, forever in second place, and as time goes on, sinking lower into obscurity. Perhaps that is why he clacks so loudly about the unjustness of it all—sour grapes make whine, not wine.

It is Harry’s brother William who will one day be king, and after him, his children inherit his birthright. Harry, upon his birth in 1984, was third in line to the throne. Now Prince William’s children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis are directly behind him and Harry is sixth in line.

And yet William himself is not eager to ascend the throne. Here’s why.
