Princess Anne has reportedly handed Prince William a cutting warning \u201cnot to make enemies\u201d as rumours swirl about his relationship with his father, King Charles.<\/p>\n

It is believed Princess Anne is concerned William and Charles are \u201cdrifting apart\u201d, which could spell that William\u2019s rule could be just as turbulent as the start of his father\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\u201c(Princess Anne is) worried about Kate and the children and has warned him that now\u2019s not the time to make enemies or he\u2019ll have just as difficult a reign as his father\u2019s having,\u201d a royal source told New Idea<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Princess Anne is also desperate to ensure Princess Kate and the kids aren\u2019t \u201cbeing isolated\u201d by the rest of the family, and has roped in her daughter Zara Tindall and her husband Mike to maintain the family unit.<\/p>\n

\u201cWilliam and Kate both seem so guarded these days, even with (Anne), which is why she\u2019s adamant Zara keeps an eye on them,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just William that has been the centre of Anne\u2019s concern \u2014 reports suggest the Princess Royal is \u201cangry\u201d her trip to South Korea was upstaged by Prince Harry\u2019s announcement that the Invictus Games will be held in the same country.<\/p>\n
