Prince Harry is often the scapegoat for a LOT of royal family drama… but is he actually the problem? Or is it secretly someone much more prominent?

King Charles III is slowly reconciling with his youngest son after years of tension and estrangement. As an outsider looking in, you’d think a reunion would bring an end to most of his problems — but that’s apparently not the case at all, because Harry’s not the worst of it!

A palace source told Rob Shuter‘s Naughty But Nice Substack on Sunday that Prince William is a bigger pain for Charles! They explained:

“Harry is emotional and unpredictable, but William is the real challenge. With Harry, at least Charles knows where he stands. With William, it’s much more complicated.”

As William gains more influence in The Firm ahead of taking the throne, tension has only grown worse and worse between the father and son, an insider said:

“William is no longer waiting in the wings. He has his own team, his own agenda, and very clear ideas about the future of the monarchy.”

But, obviously, it’s incredibly annoying for the 77-year-old to deal with William’s hopes and dreams for the future when he’s trying to finally enjoy his moment in the spotlight, a royal confidant dished:

“Charles waited his entire life to become King. The last thing he wants is people acting as if his reign is already over.”

That would suck!

Worse, some people in the palace think the Prince of Wales’ power in the royal family has already undermined His Majesty, a source shared:

“There are times when it feels like two royal courts operating under one roof. Charles has his priorities. William has his. They don’t always align.”

Damn.

And so, when you compare that to the drama with the Duke of Sussex, well, it’s very different, a source went on:

“The Harry situation is largely frozen. The real challenge for Charles is managing a future King who is increasingly impatient to shape the institution in his own image.”

Another palace source put it clearly:

“Harry is the family drama. William is the constitutional challenge.”

Yeah, when you put it like that, William does pose a much larger challenge than Harry, who doesn’t have much sway at all in the fam right now!

Thoughts? Do U think this tension could further impact Charles and William’s relationship? Sound OFF (below)!
