According to a new revelation, the heir to the throne did not always show deference to his father, especially when he was still the Prince of Wales. When things got tense, Queen Camilla would often subtly remind William of the hierarchy when she felt he wasn't behaving appropriately. In one instance, the author claims William and Catherine once asked to join Charles and Camilla's security convoy leaving Windsor Castle, but the younger royals kept the older couple waiting. When the King was kept waiting several minutes for the couple, Camilla insisted they go on without them. As William and Catherine emerged, all they could see were the blue flashing lights of the motorbikes disappearing in the distance.
In addition, the relationship between William and his stepmother is also thought to have been complicated, especially in the early days. But with their spouses, Charles and Catherine, both receiving cancer diagnoses earlier this year, they have found themselves in a tough situation. Times of adversity often bring people much closer together. For all the progress that has been made in cancer treatment, it's still a scary thing. Recent months have now brought the pair much closer. While Camilla and William have to put on a brave face for the world, there may be times when they confide in one another about how they're dealing with it all.
When the late queen died, William spoke of how she had been at his side at the happiest moments and the saddest moments of his life. Now, Camilla is sharing some of those times with him, which must surely cement their relationship.
When William started being out in public as a working royal and exposed to public life, he was shy and kept to himself as much as possible. He didn't want to come across as very confident. He used to put his hands in his pockets and would blush a lot of the time when he felt out of place, a trait he inherited from Charles. Not too long after he was newly married to the Princess of Wales, Catherine, we saw a real change in William's confidence and the sense of belief he had in himself whenever he was carrying out engagements. Around that time in his life, he found a new pace with his confidence. We saw him go from strength to strength. He finally felt comfortable taking control of situations and asserting himself when necessary.
Now, William has more experience putting himself out there by representing the royal family. It feels more natural for him now that he has his feet on the ground. William enjoys public speaking, and when we see him up there, there's genuine joy and pride. He has found his passion and wants to support people through his humanitarian work, like his mother did. William wants to honor Diana in his royal role by ensuring he follows suit as a confident, self-assured, and humble individual.
The reason why William's confidence in public speaking has developed is because he is determined to take on and embrace more within his royal duties, and the nation is behind him every step of the way. Following in the footsteps of the late queen, we have seen William step up to the plate and show that the royal family is in safe hands. Emulating her calm and collected composure when in public, he comes across as very confident, demonstrating openness with his body language. Gestures like standing taller, pushing back his shoulders, and holding his arms confidently by his side instead of crossing them over his body have resulted in people putting a lot of trust in William now.
