Prince William told King Charles ‘no’ for sake of Kate Middleton

Prince William avoids over the top Royal engagements, it is revealed.

The future King and first in line to the throne, once refused to go to a public attendance before being forced by father, King Charles.

Expert Norman Baker tells Daily Mail: "If you are looking for a royal to cut a ribbon, you are unlikely to secure the attendance of Prince William." Baker also alleged that Prince William regularly carries out far less official royal engagements than his father, King Charles, or aunt, Princess Anne.

"We might have expected William to represent the royals at events like the funeral for U.S. president Jimmy Carter, given his father's health ruled out transatlantic travel," Baker told the outlet.

The royal author continued: "It is rumored that Charles ordered him to go, but he refused as it was [Princess] Kate's 43rd birthday [on January 9, 2025]...Prince Edward, 14th in line to the throne, was dispatched instead."
