Prince William was “always very good at supporting his father, so they’ve got a wonderful relationship.”

The former aide added: “William is also offering a lot more of his views and his guidance to the King, and coming into his own with a new confidence.”

“I don’t think there is a huge difference in their relationship,’ Harrold stated.

“Obviously, the King’s got a lot more responsibilities, and he is a lot busier. They probably don’t see each other as much as they used to, but that’s all,” he added.

Speaking about Kate Middleton, the expert added: “I think Princess Kate is very good at grounding William, and she’s very good at keeping him right and keeping him calm, which is what Queen Camilla’s good at as well.”
