Prince William recently sparked controversy with a public critique of royal leadership. In an interview during his trip to South Africa for the Earthshot Prize, the Prince of Wales outlined his vision for a modernized monarchy focused on impact, philanthropy, and collaboration. While William emphasized doing things differently for his generation, the remarks were interpreted as a thinly veiled criticism of his father’s approach to governance. His comments, described by some as throwing King Charles “under the bus,” highlight growing rifts within the royal family.
