Battling Brothers

Maybe he isn't now, but I bet later he will. No matter it's also his fault, W is irresponsible and weak. He will never take a responsibility for this. And yeah Kate is for blame when he'll got everything.

Quite honestly, Harry is better off staying away from William and now is time for William to put on his big boy pants and take responsibility even at this late stage.

To an extent, Charles was never coddled. He had a harsh school regimen and he had to put up with caning and being jerked around by his peers and it is clear that he was raised rightly to enable him to handle his privileges responsibly. A lot of upper class American kids are raised the same and it is clear that William was raised with the privileges of being upper class, but he was not at all raised with the attendant discipline. He was not at all raised with the reality of family loyalty and he was not raised with consequences. Harry was the whipping post of his brother and it is clear that Harry at least knows how bad it can get if he steps out of line. It is clear that William was not at all trained as he should have been and I wonder how different William would have turned out if he knew just how ugly it is out there for those who do not at all have his protection and privileges. It is a huge shame since William did have all the raw material to make something exceptional of his life and career as a prince. If William had been sent to Cheam and then to Gordonstoun and had been school hard among roughneck peer students, I am certain that William would have been a better person and maybe a much better prince. Instead, he was coddled and it is clear that William was overindulged. William's first order as second in line should have been to protect his brother AT ALL COSTS and should have been eager to protect his brother from unfair harshness by the press. He has no real excuse to have done what he did and he has no excuse at all to go as far as he did. The minute the Midds started going after his family, William should have shut them down and burned Kate out of his life. The minute Kate started preying on Harry, he should have ended up locking her up until she was straightened out. Zero excuse for there to be ANY rivalry between him and his brother.

I can't get over it. Before all of this, before Kate, the two princes were a completely tight unit and were oddly seemingly never at odds. Now this split and it is clear that William needs to be curbed, but since it's too late, might as well let William hit the wall and learn the hard way.

I look forward to William hitting the wall for good. Will be entertaining, seeing him at long last experience this thing called 'consequences.'

The RF have lost much support over here with the Covid situation. No one wants to read about Kate’s expensive wardrobe or Charlotte’s
£250 boots. Kate and PW offering meaningless platitudes hasn’t gone down well either, they never seem genuine and coming from people who have never had to do with out, problems solved at the flick of a finger and still with brainless sycophants kowtowing to them too.

Thankfully they are not being pushed down our throats quite so much now either as it’s said that the rather brainless PR teams have finally got the message that’s they are really annoying the public.

I did read in the biography about William and Harry, that Diana would give extra attention and affection to Harry, since Diana didn't view it as necessary to do the same with William since William was already destined for an immense amount of privilege and power. She kind of moved William into Charles' control and purview and regrettably it left William with a MAJOR void in his development and also left William feeling resentful that Harry got more affection. It was wrong that Diana didn't build William up in ways that would have enabled William to bond better with Harry and talking about how Harry would maybe be a better king was out of line. If Diana had raised both sons with different traits and treated them differently according to those traits, they would have been better off. I do think that if Harry had been groomed to go into a solid profession with solid skills and the expectation that royal duties would be scaled back to doing only major engagements and charity work that he would personally prefer, it would have been better than this idea of a princely double act. Neither prince has similar roles and never will. Harry should have been educated and trained with the role in mind of a prince who would be allowed to be in a profession, but only in solid, respectable areas and a part of his duties would be to bring in jobs and trade and cut deals while his elder brother would do his part of smooth the way by being an excellent host and impress the trade delegates with his social finesse and regal bearing. It would have been complementary roles and it would have ended up keeping Harry around decent types that would bring more than political correctness to a marriage. He might have met a titled heiress or at least stayed out of trouble. I think that this more egalitarian approach has done nothing but cause serious problems and set a foundation for petty rivalry/jealousy that has ended up tearing each other apart.

William had all that attention, but nothing is like a mother's love that fills you up in ways that are not able to be replaced by others. It is clear that however privileged William is destined to be, he NEVER should have been neglected emotionally by his mother. She had no right to divvy up her love like that. Then to suggest (after suggesting that Charles be overthrown) that William wouldn't make for good king material, publicly like she did, is something that should never have been tolerated. She badmouthed family to outsiders and she of all people would know that, you NEVER do something like that. After mouthing off about how Charles didn't have what it took, she started badmouthing her own son's personality. It did create a rivalry and I do wonder if whether or not Diana thought that William might have liked to skip school on occasion and have a movie day with his mother in her arms.
