The British Crown lives from day to day, that is a fact. Any medium-term forecast is impossible given the health of the King Charles III and of the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton. In this context remains the enigmatic figure of the Prince Williamwho they say is not comfortable in his role as the monarchy’s first sword. And right now, in the middle of the debate about the future of the royal chair, he himself has taken it upon himself to sow doubts about his willingness or ability to come forward because, as he has stated, he doesn’t like responsibilities.
Every official statement released by the British Royal House gets on the nerves of fans of the monarchy. They already fear the worst. The last thing has been the loss of Queen Camilla for a chest infection. Before they were the almost weekly reports of the evolution of Charles III and Kate Middleton’s tumors. Therefore, each appearance of both is celebrated with joy.
In all this time, a figure has remained in the background when many expected a leading role. It is that of Prince William, who was supposed to be the great royal representation in the absence of Charles III for health reasons and Prince Harry, there in Montecito, for reasons of conscience. And the role of the king’s son has not been even secondary.
Guillermo’s most difficult year
It is not common to hear Prince William make such important confessions about his most personal life. During his last trip to South Africa for the Earthshot Awards He has been honest with the press and he has acknowledged having lived through the most “difficult” year of his life in which his wife, Kate Middleton, and his father, Charles III, had to fight cancer.
His role has been that of husband, caretaker and confidant of Kate Middleton. He has opted for the most human profile, as he defends, although many believe that he has simply gotten out of the way because it suits his profile more and he feels more comfortable away from the spotlight.
His last public appearance has surprised him in one of those solitary events in which he feels most comfortable. Much more than in institutional ones. And there he has been more sincere than ever, in statements reported by ‘The Mirror’. When they asked him how he had faced this very complicated stage, he confessed: «Honestly? It has been terrible. It was probably the hardest year of my life.».
“Trying to overcome everything else and keeping everything in order has been really difficult. But I’m very proud of my wife, I’m proud of my father, for handling the things that they’ve done. But from a personal point of view, from a family point of view, it has been brutal,” he said.
More responsibility…?
Prince William has chosen to remain at his wife’s side at all times and has been absent from his royal duties for a long time. The most sentimental They applaud that he wants to be with his wife. The most pragmatists criticize the fact that it has left an institutional vacuum, avoiding your responsibilities.
And this is the crux of the matter and what has increased the debate about what the future of the British Crown is. «It’s complicated. What if I like more responsibility? No», Prince William has stated bluntly before the media.
The son of Carlos III has not hidden that where he feels most comfortable is with solidarity projects rather than with institutional events. «Do I like the freedom of being able to build something like Earthshot? So yes. And that’s the future for me. It is very important with my role and my platform that I am doing something for good,” he summarized to make clear what his interests are. And these do not exactly happen because of a devotion to the Crown. Just in case you doubt: «I enjoy my work and I enjoy controlling my pace and making sure I have time for my family too.”
