To think William will struggle when he’s King?

[Curtain1980]

Who are the young people that will help him?

perhaps Edward’s children?

Why are you so defensive?

Why would someone specifically write about an incident of violence their authorized biography if it weren’t true - to have it in black and white for all of perpetuity?

Why has the phrase “incandescent with rage” been used over and over again?

Even if it weren’t true every time, the chances of it being true once or twice are very good. We all get very angry on occasion, just as you have pointed out about Harry. Why should William be the lone exception? King Charles has demonstrated his temper - I’m sure William has a temper of his own. It isn’t a crime, after all - it’s just something that is.

Nobody is trying to insult or demean you. There is simply more than one side to this complicated situation.

Oh come on! Their only job is to literally be seen in public being gracious! Unlike the rest of us when we go out for the day, they haven’t had to clean their house, style their own hair, cook for the family, wash and iron their clothes, worry about running out of petrol, finding a cash point, getting lost en route, or catching the wrong train. That is all facilitated for them.

In those circumstances, if you can’t be even tempered when you get there, I don’t think you are in the right job. It’s also telling I think that Charles has these little outbursts in public as it points to a greater incidence behind closed doors.

I think it takes a very very strong character to be immersed in such wealth and privilege and not let it corrupt your soul.

But both Charles and William have chosen to have children knowing that would be their life.

Also both Charles and William have had times to be an artist, pilot, helicopter pilot. Harry got to trek to the Antarctic and spend time in Africa.

I think they are both making different choices for their own children eg George hasn't been sent of to boarding school, yet.

100% agree, but this is something often overlooked. Even if your actual job was stressful, with long hours, having absolutely everything else done for you and no financial worries would make most people's lives a breeze.

Why would someone specifically write about an incident of violence their authorized biography if it weren’t true - to have it in black and white for all of perpetuity?

why would someone write about being alone at school when the Queen Mother died, when in fact that was true?

You are the person who told me to stop - own your actions.

this is a discussion board, not an echo chamber and you aren’t a thread monitor

Nobody wants to hear a different opinion unfortunately

oh, the irony.

So many different authors have written about Williams rage - it's well known

and we have actually seen Harry’s bad temper.

I think when William becomes King the monarchy will become more like it is in say Spain for example. The King here didn't have a big, expensive coronations or very grand, expensive events and is much more relatable to normal people. It's basically just the King, his wife and their daughters and I think William will take this more modern approach, as the traditional days of old will die out with his father.

Think you're a grumpy knickers thus morning Trashy Pants 🤓

By the time William is king La Markle will be a distant memory.

After suitably grovelling Harry will be allowed back into the fold and given small unimportant tasks.
😉😁😁

I just think it will slowly fade into relative obscurity. That's what I hope anyway. There will not be laws passed to remove the Monarchy (too divisive, it will take at least a decade for that to happen) but hopefully if W&K carry on wanting to protect their children, they will let them go off and do something they love and maybe this current media hacking case will ensure the media pulls back and allows that.
But the British public are responsible too. Not all, but some. They have to curb their insatiable appetite for royal stories which feeds the media.

Please let us have a low key Monarchy, others manage it why can't we. I am completely royalled out, I don't want to hear anything about them until I happen to hear that George got married in 15 years time. That'll do me!

Wishing for that to happen, won't make it happen. How unpleasant. Mind you... it was said on here it would last a year, then 2 years, then 4 years and so on. So I think you might well be disappointed that this family might break up. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

William didn't become a full-time working royal until his mid thirties. I assume he would want the same for his children if possible, which means the royals likely will go through a lean period for a while.

I don't think Louise or James will become working royals. It doesn't seem like it's been on the cards for the York women for many years, since well before their father got kicked out of duties, so why would the other two get a run? The cousins might turn up to the odd garden party but otherwise no. And Zara and Mike are way too commercial to become working royals. Plus I think they much prefer their current arrangement. They probably make more money than they would as working royals relying on the largesse of the monarch.

Or, just a thought, they could stop calling what they do 'work' and just not do it?

I'd certainly call it "work". Personally I'd rather scrub floors than smile and talk to strangers about the fascination of widgett making.

With the way people in this country are struggling it's only a matter of time before the end of the monarchy. William will struggle to keep things running.

We often hear that the monarchy is unpopular because people are struggling, yet, tho' we are going through difficult times, we, mostly, have easier lives than our grandparents, and certainly than our great-grandparents.
They still tended to support the monarch.

Victoria was very unpopular for years as the Widow of Windsor, but when she got over it abolition was forgotten, and she was cheered at her Jubilee

@nonheme Nobody wants to hear a different opinion unfortunately. So many different authors have written about Williams rage - it's well known.

So if many authors have written about williams rage, can you cite some reliable sources? Citation needed

@nonheme Nothing?

Not much of a choice is it if you either have to forego having dc or you see your eldest trained from an early age to become monarch!

Plus having many opportunities to try out different careers is not the same as properly engaging in one and getting paid for it and doing it for years. You don’t have to have nearly the same level of commitment for a start.

I hope they will make entirely different choices for George.

I haven’t tried to stifle discussion - that’s you.
why are you so upset at hearing an opposing view to your own?
I merely stated that we have actual evidence of Harrys temper and no evidence for your claim that William is “hot tempered”.

Don't think these dudes show any hint of abdicating ...

It’s hilarious that people think Kate will increase her workload as the children get older, she’ll do the bare minimum like she always does. The work ethic is hardly strong there. Also, she isn’t and will never be ‘Princess Catherine’ she’s not born into the RF and isn’t a princess in her own right, her titles are by virtue of her husband.

I would like to see a significantly slimmed down, more European style monarchy in my lifetime and, based on the views of the young people I know, opinion is headed that way but I doubt it will happen until it’s forced upon them.
