Prince William
William will combine digital appearances and in-person engagements to maximize “impact” in what sources tell The Daily Beast are “a template” and a “dry run” for his future reign.
In a social media post not related to his wife’s condition, the prince praised retiring international footballer Rachel Daly.
Plus, will the royals support Prince Harry if the Invictus Games come to Britain in 2027? And Queen Elizabeth and JFK and Jackie’s social blow-up over a Buckingham Palace dinner.
A friend told The Daily Beast: “They are very upset to have been ignored by the king as they feel they have a lot to offer, but they’re not surprised. They are sanguine about it.”
The photograph was taken during the recording of a message to mark Maundy Thursday, in which Charles said Jesus set an “example of how we should serve and care for each other.”
One former courtier told The Daily Beast, “If he can walk to church and wave and smile, that will shut down any speculation that he is not actually doing so well.”
A friend of William and Kate’s said the couple had been “clear they want peace and quiet... A visit from Harry, with all the drama that would bring, would be the opposite of that.”
