\n\tRoyal expert, Robert Jobson, author of the upcoming book, The Windsor Legacy: A Royal Dynasty of Secrets, Scandal, and Survival<\/a>, is revealing the more difficult side to the future King of England. He describes him in the book as someone who is prone to \u201cmood swings,\u201d and is over-assertive with his father,\u201d per Celebitchy<\/a>. The book quotes palace insiders who find the Prince of Wales to be someone with a \u201cfiery temper,\u201d and often be \u201cdifficult to handle.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \tRelated story<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tMeghan Markle\u2019s Latest As Ever Update Shows How Carefully She\u2019s Controlling Her Comeback\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t<\/a><\/p>\n \n\tJobson went even further during his interview on The Telegraph\u2018s The Daily T podcast<\/a> on November 28.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cHe\u2019s tricky,\u201d the author said of William. \u201cI think that there\u2019s no doubt that the king used to get on better with Harry [than William].\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tHe continued, \u201c[William] can be quite, not controlling, but he\u2019s a bit tricky. He\u2019s got a bit of a temper<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tPrince Harry, Duke of Sussex at Project Healthy Minds\u2019 World Mental Health Day Festival held at Spring Studios on October 10, 2025 in New York, New York.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKristina Bumphrey\/Variety<\/p>\n \n\tJobson\u2019s sources seem to validate what Prince Harry said about his older brother in his 2023 memoir, Spare.<\/p>\n \n\tThe Duke of Sussex recalled a fight they had over Meghan Markle \u2014 a verbal altercation turned physical<\/a> after William allegedly called his sister-in-law \u201cdifficult,\u201d \u201crude,\u201d and \u201cabrasive.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cIt all happened so fast,\u201d Harry wrote in his book. \u201cSo very fast. He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor. I landed on the dog\u2019s bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me. I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tRobert Lacey\u2019s 2020 book, Battle of Brothers, also chronicled William\u2019s temper, going back to Queen Camilla\u2019s early years in the family.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cHe has proved no Sweet William when roused,\u2019 wrote Lacey. \u201cIn the years after her 2005 marriage to Prince Charles, Camilla recounted to members of her own family and close friends her surprise at discovering this unexpected side to Prince Charming \u2013 \u2018the boy\u2019s got a temper!\u2018 Charles\u2019s wife was horrified at the ranting and raving that William unleashed on occasion against her husband in her presence.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tPrince William\u2019s alleged behavior might be harder to hide once he takes the throne, but it\u2019s a challenging narrative to rewrite now that the word is out.<\/a><\/p>\n \n\t\u201cOccasionally, William has little tantrums and irritations if things aren\u2019t done the way he wants them done [as heir to the British throne],\u201d royal author Tom Quinn told Fox News Digital, via Page Six,<\/a> in March. \u201cBut Kate is very good at managing that in the same way that she manages the tantrums of their three children \u2013 Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. And so, there\u2019s a joke among the staff that Kate treats William as the fourth because he occasionally behaves like one.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tIt\u2019s a royal tale that the palace is going to have to finesse more smoothly in the future.<\/p>\n \n\tMore on the royal family<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n Before you go, click here<\/a> to see the best photos of Prince Harry and Prince William growing up together over the years.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"Meghan](\"https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/wp-content\/themes\/vip\/pmc-sheknows-2020\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\")
