An insider has revealed to Closer Online UK that Prince William is feeling the weight of his royal responsibilities, leaving him perpetually exhausted.
The demands of his role have led him to seek brief moments of relief, like zipping around on a scooter.
However, this carefree behavior, especially without a helmet, is raising eyebrows and concerns among those close to him.
The insider cautions that such recklessness could lead to serious injuries, something no one wants to see happen, particularly with everything else going on in the royal household.
Kate Middleton, ever the caring partner, has been urging William to exercise more caution.
While she tries to avoid nagging him, her frustration grew when she learned he had chosen to ride without protective gear.
This situation has left her stressed, worrying about potential accidents and insisting that he always dons a helmet during his rides.
The source indicated that Kate’s anxiety stems from a place of love and concern for William’s well-being.
In response to Kate’s worries, William has reassured her that his scooter rides are low-speed adventures.
He believes there’s little risk involved, which has done little to quell Kate’s fears.
The insider noted that despite William’s insistence on safety, Kate remains frustrated by what she perceives as his foolishness.
She wishes he would prioritize his health with the same diligence he encourages her to show regarding her own wellness.
Meanwhile, the ongoing rift between William and his brother, Prince Harry, continues to simmer beneath the surface.
Reports suggest that William is taking a hardline approach in their conflict, seemingly closing the door on any potential reconciliation.
A royal expert has indicated that William has adopted a disciplinarian stance, reminiscent of his late grandfather, Prince Philip, as he navigates this complicated family dynamic.
The two brothers have not spoken in over a year, following Harry’s explosive revelations in his memoir, “Spare,” where he made shocking allegations against the royal family.
Royal commentator Michael Cole has emphasized William’s determination to keep Harry at arm’s length, asserting that there will be no softening of his response to Harry’s actions.
Cole pointed out that while many can endure insults, certain lines crossed—especially concerning family—are intolerable.
Despite a public statement wishing Princess Kate well during her cancer diagnosis earlier this year, the relationship between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family remains strained.
Cole noted that Harry and Meghan have shown a lack of genuine emotion in their messages, suggesting that their words felt somewhat detached given the gravity of the situation.
When Kate publicly shared her health struggles, the message from Harry and Meghan, although supportive, lacked the warmth one might expect from family.
Cole criticized the couple for not making their sentiments more personal, especially considering the circumstances surrounding Kate’s diagnosis.
It appears that even in moments of potential unity, the underlying tensions remain palpable.
As the royal family grapples with personal challenges and public scrutiny, the dynamics between its members continue to evolve.
William’s focus on his duties, coupled with his carefree scooter escapades, underscores the balancing act he faces between personal freedom and royal responsibility.
