Buckingham Palace has released information that has surprised everyone. Sources close to the royal family claim that Charles III has asked his son to fulfill Queen Elizabeth II's last wish, something the current sovereign is unable to achieve. Prince William's father, who has been at odds with his son Harry for years, is aware that he doesn't have enough time left to fulfill what his mother always desired.
Elizabeth II, who passed away on September 8, 2022, only wanted the Windsors to keep strong and united. This is something Charles III has been unable to achieve because of his dispute with his youngest son.
Meanwhile, Kate Middleton's husband is aware that he must carry out the task his father has now entrusted to him. The reign of the future British sovereign will be based on getting his brother Harry to put their differences behind them and return to his duties as Duke of Sussex.
King Charles has entrusted his son William with a task he won't be able to fulfill
It is important to highlight that the heir's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, always showed a strong commitment to stability and unity within the British royal family. In fact, she made an effort to keep a public image of family cohesion even though some of its members didn't make it easy for her.
Stability and family harmony were two essential pillars on which the British royal family has always stood. These are values that the queen valued and asked her son, the heir, to keep very much in mind.
Even so, the relationship between certain family members was never entirely easy. This was a circumstance that worried the sovereign, who entrusted her son with the challenge of managing these tensions while also projecting an image of unity.
During her reign, Elizabeth II experienced Charles's divorce, his extramarital relationship with Camilla, and the controversies involving Prince Andrew. This is a long list of incidents that inevitably affected the public image of the royal family. Even so, the queen tried to ensure that the image of the Crown conveyed unity and balance so that the problems wouldn't influence the perception of the monarchy.
The current British monarch hasn't achieved the family unity Elizabeth II so desired
With Charles III's ascension to the throne, the issue of keeping cohesion within the family remains an unsolved matter. Although the king tries to keep family unity, internal tensions are still present.
Thus, the relationship between the current king and his brother, Prince Andrew, remains under scrutiny. But if there is something that seems to have no solution, at least for now, it is the complicated relationship between King Charles III and his son Prince Harry.
It remains to be seen whether the heir will be able to make his grandmother's wish come true. He must solve personal differences, media pressures, and internal conflicts to achieve that family unity Elizabeth II so desired.
