Prince William and his father King Charles are at odds when it comes to royal responsibilities. The family is reportedly quarreling over Princess Beatrice and Eugenie’s royal roles after their father Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor had his titles taken away.

ICYMI, Princess Beatrice had her first charity appearance and Charles “personally approved” a new patronage at the Outward Bound Trust. According to Rob Shuter’s #ShuterScoop, Prince William is strongly opposed to Charles’ surprise decision to thrust Princess Beatrice back into the royal spotlight.

“William wanted the Yorks out of sight until after the King’s next health review,” an insider shared. “But His Majesty insisted — he thinks the family needs to heal in public.

Another source dished that William wanted to delay his cousins’ appearances and that his patience with his father is “wearing thin.” They continued, “On one hand, William appears focused on safeguarding the monarchy’s reputation, but on the other, Charles appears keen to promote family redemption and public unity.”

King Charles was said to have “personally approved” a new patronage for Princess Beatrice at the Outward Bound Trust, plus sent her to do a royal engagement at a hospital this week that “blindsided courtiers.

For Andrew and Prince William’s relationship, it’s always been strained due to his animosity towards Kate Middleton. “The feud between Prince William and Prince Andrew started primarily due to Andrew’s jealousy and resulting disparaging remarks regarding Kate Middleton,” royals expert Hilary Fordwich previously told Fox News Digital. 

“Prince William was infuriated,” she added, “Being fiercely protective, he instituted a zero-tolerance policy toward any wayward behavior or scandals involving Prince Andrew.”
