PRINCE WILLIAM has always been the picture of calm. In the decades he’s spent in the spotlight, his cool demeanor has never wavered. But cracks in his public persona have begun to be revealed more recently. In his 2023 memoir, Spare, Prince Harry detailed an incident in which he claims his older brother angrily shoved him to the ground during a shouting match, while Robert Lacey’s royal biography Battle of Brothers recounts some of William’s rage-fueled tantrums, writing that when Queen Camilla married into the royal family she was “horrified at the ranting and raving that William unleashed on occasion.”
Hardly behavior suited to the modern monarchy. William’s temper is just one cause for concern for King Charles III. The 75-year-old is said to be putting his affairs in order after his February cancer diagnosis and is worried about passing the crown to William. The matter has become even more urgent as Star can report the monarch’s health issues are more dire than the palace has let on. “His diagnosis is known to be an open secret among royal staffers,” says an insider. “The word is Charles has pancreatic cancer and has been given two years to live.”
As Charles frets about the future of the crown, sources say his doubts about William’s fitness include his fears about his elder son’s drinking and the renewed chatter surrounding the Prince of Wales’ alleged 2019 affair with family friend Rose Hanbury. A second source says courtiers suspect Charles has told the 41-year-old he doesn’t think he’s fit to rule and that he can’t truly be king until he proves he’s up to the job.
