Prince William<\/strong><\/a> has reportedly been calling the shots instead of King Charles<\/a><\/strong>. According to a source, the Prince of Wales is the \u201creal ruler,\u201d despite his father being the monarch. The 76-year-old royal seems self-conscious and wants to be in the good books of everyone. Meanwhile, the heir does not seemingly fear taking bold decisions in favor of the crown\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

Prince William doesn\u2019t scare easily while King Charles is \u2018terrified\u2019 of bad headlines, says source<\/p>\n

Prince William is the next in line after King Charles, thus, people have been closely observing the first son for a while. Sources told Rob Shuter<\/a>\u2019s #ShuterScoop that the 43-year-old said he wanted to understand his duties clearly as the future king. Reportedly, everyone has already considered him the real ruler.<\/p>\n

Highlighting the difference, a palace insider stated that the king has always been cautious and \u201cterrified of bad headlines.\u201d It has seemingly been his \u201cweakness,\u201d as he does not want people to fear him, but love him. On the other hand, William is not afraid of making \u201cunpopular decisions if they protect the monarchy long-term.\u201d He doesn\u2019t \u201cscare easily,\u201d therefore, he has already begun to call the shots.<\/p>\n

According to a senior staff member at the place, the hierarchy is not a secret. When King Charles interacts, the royal court attendees politely listen. However, the response is totally different when his elder son speaks. \u201cBut when William gives instructions? That\u2019s what gets done. Everyone knows who\u2019s really in charge,\u201d the staffer added.\u00a0Furthermore, an aide claimed they have become part of a \u201cdual monarchy.\u201d \u201cOne for show, one for real,\u201d they concluded.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the situation behind palace walls might affect Prince Harry<\/a>. Reportedly, his goal to reconcile with his royal family has \u201czero chance\u201d to succeed without his brother\u2019s \u201cblessing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another insider bluntly pointed out that the king might let bygones be bygones. However, the decision of allowing Harry to return might not be in the hands of their father. \u201cCharles might forgive him, but William decides who\u2019s in and who\u2019s out,\u201d the source claimed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince William has reportedly been calling the shots instead of King Charles.
