There is some major tension in the royal family right now — and it has nothing to do with Prince Harry for once!
This week, sources revealed to Rob Shuter‘s Naughty But Nice newsletter on Substack that all is not well between King Charles and Prince William! In fact, they are reportedly not talking right now! Whoa! Insiders claimed tensions are “worse than they’ve been in years.” And although sources know the father and son will make up, they made it clear that things are really, really bad at the moment! One palace insider told Shuter:
“It’s very bad at the moment. There’s real anger on both sides.”

It is unknown what Charles and William are fighting about. However, there have been whispers of issues between the two for a few weeks. Sources told Us Weekly in December that the pair are butting heads over the Prince of Wales’ future on the throne and the changes he plans to make to the monarchy. William also hasn’t been too happy about Charles trying to reconcile with Harry. Princess Catherine’s hubby reportedly feels “less inclined” to forgive and “bring Harry back into the royal fold.” We can’t say we’re surprised about that…
William and Charles are dealing with some very complicated matters, and they apparently are unable to work it out peacefully at this time! The 43-year-old royal is keeping his distance from his father, and he made that clear by skipping the king’s Windsor Castle film premiere. A source pointed out:
“That wasn’t a scheduling issue. That was a statement.”
Everyone got the message loud and clear! Oof!
It is hard to believe, but a courtier even claimed that Charles had more trouble with William than he ever did with Harry! Shocking, we know! The courtier explained:
“Harry is emotional, reactive, and predictable. William is controlled, strategic — and stubborn. That’s much harder.”
Sources say Harry is easier to manage because he is no longer around, while William is the future of the monarchy, which makes things so difficult:
“William will be king. And he knows it. That changes the power dynamic completely.”
Because of that, those close to Charles shared that the monarch feels undermined and iced out a lot of the time. William, on the other hand, reportedly thinks he is simply protecting his authority and legacy. What doesn’t help is that both men are stubborn, so they won’t “back down.” Insiders continued:
“They clash because they’re too similar. Both believe they’re right. Neither backs down easily.”
Yikes! That said, Shuter’s sources insisted William and Charles will reconcile eventually. Just don’t expect it to happen at this moment.
