The rumors started that the relationship between King Charles and Prince William has reportedly been clashing since Charles took the throne. Keen students of history will recall that the monarch has had to count on the support of his heir Prince William, but their relationship has seemingly not always been plain sailing. According to claims made in previous years, Charles was actually closer to his younger son Prince Harry when they were younger.
More recent revelations have shed light on tensions between Charles and William in the past, especially when William was still the Prince of Wales. As the heir to the throne, William did not always show deference to his father. Things would often get tense, and Queen Camilla would subtly remind William of the hierarchy when she felt he wasn't behaving appropriately. In one instance recounted by the author, William and Catherine had once asked to join Charles and Camilla's security convoy leaving Windsor Castle, but they made the older couple wait.

When the King had been kept waiting several minutes for the couple to emerge, Camilla insisted they go on without them. By the time William and Catherine did appear, all they could see were the blue flashing lights of the motorbikes disappearing into the distance. The relationship between William and his stepmother Camilla was also thought to be complicated in the early days. However, with both Charles and Catherine receiving cancer diagnoses earlier this year, they found themselves in a difficult situation.
Times of adversity often bring people closer together. While cancer treatment has come a long way, it remains a scary situation. The recent months have brought Prince William and Camilla closer as they have had to put on brave faces for the world. There may be times when they confide in one another about how they are each dealing with the diagnoses. When Queen Elizabeth passed away, William spoke of how she had been at his side during both the happiest and saddest moments of his life. Now Camilla shares some of those times with him, surely cementing their relationship.

When William first began appearing in public as a working royal and being exposed to public life, he was very shy and kept to himself as much as possible. He didn't want to come across as overly confident. William would often put his hands in his pockets and blush frequently when he felt out of place, traits he apparently inherited from his father Charles. Not long after William married Princess Catherine of Wales, there was a real change in his confidence and self-belief.
By the time of Catherine's life, William exhibited a newfound confidence whenever carrying out royal engagements. He went from strength to strength, finally feeling comfortable taking control of situations and asserting himself when necessary. Now with more experience representing the royal family, it feels more natural for William. He enjoys public speaking engagements, where his genuine joy and pride in his role are evident. William wants to honor his late mother Diana's legacy by ensuring he follows in her footsteps as a confident, self-assured yet humble individual.

The development of William's confidence in public speaking can be attributed to his determination to take on more responsibilities within his royal duties. The British people fully support him in this endeavor. In the footsteps of his late grandmother Queen Elizabeth, William has stepped up to demonstrate that the monarchy is in safe hands, displaying her same calm, collected composure in public engagements. He comes across as very confident now, demonstrating an open body language through gestures like standing taller, pushing back his shoulders, and holding his arms confidently at his sides rather than crossed over his body. As a result, the people have put a great deal of trust in William to guide the monarchy into the future.
