The author, Andersen, explained that William didn’t wear his heart on his sleeve when he first met her as he kept a poker face.
“William was very cordial to Camilla, and their relationship has always been civil,” Andersen said. “That is in part because Camilla has been shrewd enough not to ever try to instruct William in any way. The fact is, despite her earthly reputation, Camilla is not a mom type. She was never a hands-on mother with her own children and certainly would not have interfered in Charles’ relationship with his children.”
“Camilla is certainly no disciplinarian,” he added. “That said, she is also (known) to whisper in the king’s ear about what she sees as William’s and Harry’s shortcomings.”
Charles and William reportedly clash over several matters, as their leadership styles are said to be different, but Camilla seemingly knows where to draw the line for the Prince of Wales and doesn’t shy away from doing just that.
“Prince William hasn’t always seen eye to eye with his father,” British broadcaster Helena Chard told Fox News of the father-son relationship dynamic. “They are regularly at loggerheads as they differ opinion-wise on so many topics. Their leadership style also differs greatly.”
