Prince William appears to be growing concerned for his cancer-stricken father, King Charles, after the latest health update caused major concern at the palace.
The Prince of Wales, who has received more significant duties from the palace, is fully aware of his royalty in the family, but he also cares deeply for his father.
King Charles, along with Queen Camilla, were joined by the Prince and Princess of Wales at Nigeria’s state banquet last week, and William had expressed his concerns about the monarch’s health at the time.
However, he was quickly shut down by Camilla. According to an insider quoted by CloserWilliam “did not feel that Charles was good enough” for the engagements.
“William wants his dad to slow down and take a proper step back,” the source said. But whenever William had brought it up, there is a sense that Camilla was “encouraging Charles to continue his duty, especially at a time when the family is receiving so much criticism”.
The heir to the throne believes that his father will get better if he is allowed to rest properly.
“It’s very upsetting for him because he can see how quickly his father Charles is deteriorating and he feels completely helpless to do anything about it,” the source noted, adding that Camilla is “blocking him at every turn”.
Meanwhile, King Charles is “incredibly proud” and will carry on as long as he possibly can. Although William admires his father’s traits, he believes there must be a line.
