Prince William has always been determined to give his three children a normal upbringing, even if it means clashing with his father King Charles over some parenting decisions. As the world watched the messy breakdown of William's parents' marriage between Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana, he is adamant about doing things differently with his own family.

However, William's desire to be a hands-on father who keeps his children by his side as much as possible has led to some tensions with King Charles. According to recent reports, the two royals have disagreed over William flying in helicopters with his entire family - wife Kate Middleton and their three kids Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
As an experienced pilot, William has expressed a strong wish to transport his family altogether in helicopters so they can stay together while balancing royal duties. However, King Charles reportedly presented William with a formal document outlining the risks of flying the entire family and having him take full responsibility. The disagreement reflects King Charles' understandable concerns given the tragic history of royals dying in plane crashes.

Nonetheless, William remains steadfast in his goal of giving his children a normal upbringing despite their royal positions. He and Kate are said to be extremely hands-on parents by royal standards. Those around the couple have commented on William's close bond with eldest son Prince George and their similar mannerisms. After his own difficult childhood in the public eye, William craves normalcy for his kids.
Kate Middleton has played a major stabilizing role in William's life and approach to parenting. According to sources, William was drawn to Kate's family stability as he witnessed his parents' marriage fall apart. Both William and Kate want their children to have normal childhood experiences beyond a "gilded bubble." Their aim is for George, Charlotte, and Louis to "grow up having the same experiences as other kids."

While William respects his father's decades of royal service and devotion to duty, he has expressed that growing up with a work-focused father took a detrimental toll. Their father-son relationship was notably strained for years. As a new parent himself now, William seems determined not to repeat the same dynamic with his own children.
Lessons were clearly learned from William's very public upbringing under the scrutiny of the world's media spotlight. From his school days to his courtship of Kate to graduating military school, every stage of his life unfolded before cameras. Now as a father-of-three raising the next generation of royals, William's goal is clearly for his kids to have as normal a childhood as possible given their royal status.

According to reports, even King Charles has praised Kate's stabilizing presence in William's life and the positive influence she wields over the entire family. A courtier close to the king stated that he "loves and truly appreciates everything she does." While disagreements may arise at times with his father, it seems William stands firm in his determination to parent his children hands-on with Kate by his side.
Speculation abounds about what sort of future monarchy Prince William envisions based on his causes championing mental health, the environment and other issues. Whether disagreeing with his father over parenting or not, William appears to be subtly carving out a modernized vision of the crown for when he succeeds King Charles. His aim of giving George, Charlotte and Louis as normal a childhood as possible within a royal family reflects that vision.

In the end, William's priority remains providing stability and a nurturing family life for his three children, even if it means occasionally facing tensions with his father over parenting decisions. Having witnessed the painful breakdown of his own parents' marriage throughout his youth, it's understandable that William would be committed to a hands-on approach with his own kids. While respecting the king's perspective, it seems Prince William of Wales will continue determinedly pursuing his goals as a father.
