A source revealed that William believes the challenges his younger brother experienced were not simply unavoidable parts of royal life.

And so, he is raising Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis with a focus on helping them build their own identities and ambitions.

"William is deeply aware of the impact Harry's experience has had, and he doesn't see it as an unavoidable consequence of royal life,” the source said.

They added, “In his view, it's something that could, and should, be handled differently. That awareness is shaping a much more intentional approach to parenting.

“There's a strong focus on ensuring Charlotte and Louis develop their own identities, ambitions, and sense of direction, rather than being defined solely by their place in the hierarchy.

"The aim is to give them genuine independence, so they feel they have control over their futures rather than being confined by tradition."
