Prince William’s friends have revealed his approach towards dealing with ongoing issues within the Royal Family, particularly concerning his estranged brother Prince Harry and disgraced uncle Andrew.
According to Rob Shuter, a royal expert who quoted William’s friends, “William is not afraid to make hard calls. And right now, that’s exactly what the Royal Family needs.”
The friends told Shuter that William doesn’t forget or forgive easily. If someone crosses him, it’s over. They also noted that his approach contrasts with his father King Charles’, who often leads with emotion and can be too soft.
Shuter added that while some may view William’s ruthless streak as a flaw, the close confidants say it is necessary given the current pressures on the monarchy. They believe that someone capable of making tough, unpopular decisions is needed to protect the institution.
The friends emphasized that Prince William understands these problems and acts accordingly. As one of his close confidants put it, “Andrew is a problem. Harry is a problem,” and William knows this and takes action.
