Now that he\u2019s king, everyone is focused on who will come next.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">They add that &#8220;Charles wants William to succeed, but William can be strong-minded and stubborn.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"national service of thanksgiving and dedication to the coronation of king charles iii and queen camilla\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/e9119ec90dfb0d3f14d21ce2f78043a2.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Pool &#8211; Getty Images<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Meanwhile, another insider says that when it comes to Andrew, &#8220;Charles obviously briefed William and Kate, but it was fully his decision. They were fine with it; they weren\u2019t planning on working with Andrew anyway. Kate and William have a lot of influence and a voice at the table, but the decision-making is the king.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">They add that &#8220;No power has been relinquished to William. William has his own office and staff separate from the king, and he and Charles work closely together. Charles believes William will do an incredible job as king, and he\u2019s very supportive. [When] they don\u2019t agree, [William] respects his father\u2019s decisions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Noted!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">You Might Also Like<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"King Charles is &#8220;not thrilled&#8221; that people think Prince William is running things at the palace.
