On June 21, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, officially entered the "Year of Confusion". According to the latest foreign media reports, britain's future king had a very low-key and ordinary day, still spending most of his time in his kensington palace office.
Early in the morning, not surprisingly, Prince William received grand, sincere birthday wishes from his grandmother, the 96-year-old Queen and father, Prince Charles. At that time, William, who was planning to go out, also took the time to thank his grandmother, father and royal fans from all over the world for their kindness and blessings.
Subsequently, the Duke of Cambridge took a piece of chocolate cake to visit the newsstand owner who had been selling the newspaper with him a few days earlier; Probably I want to know about the sales of the magazine "Big Issue" on the cover of my own... (Ha... Simon Perry, a royal journalist who has focused on the Duke of Cambridge for 25 years, revealed that after a day of work, William went to a small private family celebration party.
As we all know, because of the pain of losing his mother at a young age, for a long time, Prince William was rebellious, playful, and unruly. Although not as out of line as his younger brother Prince Harry (participating in the "Fruit Boogie"), there is no doubt that William was also a proper party prince. Because of his resistance to being a full-time member of the royal family and to accepting his innate mission, for a long time his people were very dissatisfied with him, and even gave him the nickname "William who did not like work".
However, that all slowly changed after his marriage to Kate Middleton. After welcoming his and Kate's three children (Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis), Prince William became more and more aware of the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and became more and more comfortable and fortunate to accept the mission he was born with.
Some royal experts said that william's personality formation today is inextricably linked to three important women in his life. His grandmother, the Queen, taught him what a divine sense of mission and a selfless, tenacious sense of responsibility were; His mother, Princess Diana, had a natural affinity and a real, unpretentious personality; His wife, Kate, is natural, generous and calm. All of these factors implicitly or explicitly influence or make him what he is today.
Therefore, some media commented on the current Prince William: this decent, decent man is now very "family-oriented, dedicated", he is a loyal husband, a responsible father, this man who will become the king, and the "lazy William" who held a party in Mahiki and Boujis has long been sentenced to two people.
In a time of confusion, the future king of England completed a fourfold transformation of identity - a loyal husband, a "child slave" with three children, a son who became closer to his once discordant father, and a well-respected and admired heir to the throne.
When it comes to a faithful husband, many people may be suspicious. After all, there had been rumors of William cheating on Kate's girlfriend before. Individuals have reservations about this. Whether it is from the sweet interaction between the Duke and his wife in Cambridge when attending a public event, or from the busy schedules of the would-be king and the queen-to-be, or from the education of the two people for the three little hands,This item can be ruled out. Objectively speaking, from the perspective of time alone, William may not be able to find time to derail. (To be clear, I have no intention of whitewashing anyone.) ）
In addition, there are many small details to support this. In the royal box more than two weeks ago, William was always paying attention to the every move of his wife and his three babies. When he saw that his wife was exhausted by his younger son Louis, William was very considerate and discussed whether the younger son Louis could go to his grandfather, Prince Charles, for a while.
The most touching thing is that when 4-year-old Louis stayed in the chair with five ridges and six beasts, he ran to his father and whispered a word. According to the lip reader's after-the-fact interpretation, Louis was eager to run around the scene. William patiently listened to his younger son and told Louis "no." This father, who spoils his children, while spoiling, also sets a naughty lower limit for his children. Most importantly, he listens carefully to everything the children say.
It is not an exaggeration to say that William was a "child slave" of three children. During the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the Queen's accession to the throne two weeks ago, it was visible to the naked eye that the father of three was considerate and meticulous to each child. For George, while doing "induction training" for his son, William did not forget to put his hand on his son's shoulder at any time, encourage and stimulate George's "enthusiasm for work", and also subconsciously protect his son who was still a little shy.
For Charlotte, William was naturally more pampered. Like many of their daughters, William and Charlotte were very greasy. Not only do the two have their own nicknames, but the old father is also very gentle with his daughter. When attending the event, when Xiao Xia was unhappy or not in business, the old father would often stroke his daughter's hair and gently soothe it.
According to sources, the most exaggerated one, before visiting Bucky St. Tan in 2019, in order to send George and Charlotte to school, William and Kate's flight to Ish Ranburg was postponed accordingly. The source revealed that William always tried his best to pick up his children to and from school and to send Louis to the nursery.
A few days before the departure of the visit to Wales, Kate and George and Charlotte patiently stood by and waited for William and Louis to say goodbye, which was also interesting and touching. After the father and son kissed each other for a few flights, William reluctantly boarded the helicopter with his wife, eldest son, and eldest daughter.
For a long time, William and Charles were not very close. Because of Kate, the relationship between father and son slowly improved. In the past two years, the royal family has experienced the most difficult period. Whether it is the departure of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the death of the beloved Prince Philip, or the sexual assault of Prince Andrew, it has caused a huge blow to the royal family. This series of crises and the unshirkable responsibility and sense of mission to the royal family (monarchy) have made the once estranged father and son closer. A royal insider told the media: "They are more consistent now. Although they play different roles, they respect each other. William was also serious about learning from his father. ”
As the second in line to the throne, after the death of Princess Diana, the queen personally assumed the responsibility of teaching the heir for a long time. It is reported that every Sunday, William would spend a few hours with the Queen after leaving Eton College. It was this short period of time each week that not only brought the relationship between the grandchildren closer, but also allowed William to truly understand the true meaning of the king. In an interview, William revealed: "The point of the monarchy that she (the Queen) believes is to set an example; It's about fulfilling your duties. Use your position for good—it's in the service of your country. At the same time, William also said: "I will respect the way my parents and grandmother work, but Catherine and I will also do things in our own way, leaving our 'historical legacy' one day in the future." ”
William and Kate held fewer royal patron positions than the Queen and Charles. Their royal foundation focuses on several aspects of philanthropy: mental health issues, environmental issues, and the living conditions of the homeless; For the Duchess of Cambridge, it's more of a problem in the field of early childhood development. "When we decide to do something, we want to dig deeper, we want to understand what we're involved with, we want to understand the complexity of all the issues, and most importantly, we want to make an impact," William said. ”
William and Kate, both of whom are not confused, still have a long way to go in the future. However, both the Queen and their people have great confidence in them. Royal biographer Sally Bidel Smith said: "William and Kate together have a true royal star temperament. They are both charming and approachable. It would be safe for the crown to pass into their hands. William humbly learned from his grandmother and father, however, he also had his own ideas. As a result, he would become a king who was completely different from his grandmother and father, and who kept pace with the times. ”
