The newly appointed Prince of Wales, 40, was described as being driven and impatient by the source. He was likened by the source to King Charles, who is 74 and has greater patience.
They said, “That can make William irritable around Charles.” “The Boss (Charles) also has a temper, but it doesn’t last forever. He has a tendency to get irritated and lash out before forgetting about it in a flash. It is almost never forgotten with William.”
In reality, Charles’ quick temper was evident in the days after the death of Queen Elizabeth in September.
The 74-year-old prince was seen on camera yelling at the staff to clear the desk so he could sign the Accession Proclamation, which declared him the monarch of the UK and the Commonwealth.
In addition, he was seen snapping at a leaking pen while at Hillsborough Castle, the royal home in Northern Ireland. Charles was seen yelling about the offending pen and frantically removing black ink off his hands with a handkerchief in a video that went viral right afterward.
Jobson said that Charles has been surprised by his kids’ sometimes violent tempers, which remind him of the anger of their late mother Princess Diana, The Daily Mirror.
The author of “William at 40: The Making of a Modern Monarch” adds, “He knew that they were both strong-willed, stubborn even; conflict would be very difficult to manage and could have a negative impact on the monarchy itself.”
Charles has sometimes been astonished by the intensity of hostility amongst his boys and actually towards him. In reality, Prince Harry, 38, detailed several fights with his brother, William, in his autobiography “Spare.”
After Prince Phillip’s burial in April 2021, the three got together in an effort to mend the damaged ties between the brothers. Instead, when the two boys’ argument became “heated,” their father had to step in and the dialogue swiftly became negative.
The Duke of Sussex recalled the King pleading with his sons not to “make [his] final years a misery” while they argued back and forth, tempers flaring.
