I get the feeling that once William yoked himself to Kate legally, he ended his own progress. He has status, but he has nothing to back it up. William can go no further and Charles knows this. After the failed Boston trip and the failed attempt to relive his youth, William has his a literal wall. He has no powerful allies, no credibility, and if he had ditched Kate in 2010 instead of engaging himself to her, he would have been able to move on and fix his mess. William now has Charles as an enemy and it is clear to me that Charles is sick and tired of carrying William, while William dumps on him. Throw in the mess of Harry and Meg, Charles will not be in a merciful mood after he has been anointed.

For some unknown reason Charles lets his sons walk all over him. He loves his sons but it is clear they don't respect him. Both still have much of their mother's hang ups and the traits of the Spencers.
After the Coronation Charles may be able to persuade William to work harder but William doesn't have the ambition or sense of duty of the older generation.

I think Charles has given up; Charles can't really cope with his out of control son and can't cope with much of anything anymore. He has lost his mother and father within a year of each other and they were in many ways his life's companions. You can't just walk on from that and he has to process three major upheavals within the year of each other and there is no concrete peace and stability in this family. It HAS to be Spencer traits since there has never really been a generation of Windsors who have been so unmotivated. Charles and Anne are both hardworking and neither would ream of not contributing. Even Andrew did a full schedule and so did Edward and I sincerely believe it is a Spencer trait. Up until Diana, there was NEVER any question or challenge over how things were done, whether or not anyone would show up at Balmor@l or fall into line over Sandringham and in my view, Diana didn't just quit her marriage, but she tried to take Charles down with her since she wouldn't be queen. Second, William, the more freedom he is given, the more he shows himself to be a loser leech who just wants to party and live like a member of the trust fund set. Worst part is, that that kind of life is ending since most parents are NOT letting growing up be an option. Most parents are not leaving fat bank accounts to their kids these days and they are not going to tolerate protecting their kids from consequences at the expense of the well being of the family. Diana had no excuse, she KNEW the royal way of life and I think the worst 'legacy' she left to her sons was the delusion that she had left anything behind by the time of her death. As "HRH" she did HUGE work for the sufferers of AIDS and the people who were marginalized, but at the time of her death she was a divorcee who had too much time and money on her hands and no motivation to better herself.
Charles has been wearing the hair shirt of Diana ever since Andrew Morton and William is just as broken as Diana was by the time of her death. William can't be fixed and Charles won't do a thing since William is just hateful to a father who did nothing but love him. Notice how William started to get more freedom at the time of his post-uni life and he kept demanding more and more and more until he started making the bad choice to take on Kate who has been nothing but a burden to him. William's problems are not his role, but his bad choice to take on one unsavory freeloader after another and he refused to follow the mapped out formula that was created for him. William failed to follow the rules, routine, and refused to work. Charles can't save him anymore, Charles is too old and Charles is too overworked to train William in ways that he should have been trained. Even when William was on track, I am certain that it would take herculean work to get William to somehow weed out the Spencer traits of feral chaos that his mother embraced.

What should scare William is how he is unwanted by the Welsh nation. I do not believe that he is in fact wanted by much of anyone anymore. He build zero ties and the press has never been substantial and good press coverage has never been enough.
