King Charles and Prince William are currently standing on a crossroads, so much so that one expert warns they are putting the future of a centuries’ old Institution at stake because of their inability to coordinate.

Insight into this whole fiasco comes straight from royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams.

He spoke about things with the Daily Mail and during that chat he touched on bubbling rumors of a rift between father and son.

Per the earlier reports Prince William is unhappy with the way his father has been managing the Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Prince Harry matter.

now the royal commentator has come out with insight, and he says, “the most disastrous thing that could happen to the monarchy would be a falling out between King Charles and Prince William, who together with his family, is its future.”

“The King would obviously be unwise to approach this without [his older son's] support as it could be incendiary. This presents a huge challenge for whoever succeeds Sir Clive!”

In regards to the issues that are pulling father and son apart, its related to the media scrutiny surrounding both the King’s brother and youngest son -- for Harry’s case it involves his wife too.
