King Charles sees Prince William as 'useful ally on family matters' amid friction with Harry and Andrew

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Sources have indicated that King Charles III and Prince William are more united than ever, despite tensions with other royal family members, Prince Harry and Andrew.

It is reported that the King has dispelled any rumors of rivalry with his elder son. This comes after William prominently participated in D-Day commemorative events this week.

Both the monarch and Kate, the Princess of Wales, are continuing their respective cancer treatments, as per DailyMail.

Currently, William's schedule is packed with public engagements, including his participation in France this week alongside global leaders like US President Joe Biden to honor the D-Day fallen.

King Charles has changed his stance on Prince William

Sources indicate that Charles may have previously been reluctant to allow his son William greater public visibility, but due to his cancer treatment and the decreasing number of working royals, he has been willing to alter his stance.

A friend of the King claimed that in recent years, Charles has sought his son’s advice on complex family matters involving Prince Andrew, Harry, and Meghan. Their collaborative approach to these issues is believed to have strengthened both their personal and professional relationship.

The friend claimed, “If there was ever a green-eyed monster or a sense of rivalry between the two, that is a chapter of the past, the King sees his son as a useful ally on family matters and increasingly in discharging the duties of nation and state.”

William’s close source asserted, “He very much wants to support his father. That isn’t something new, but of course with everything the King is going through with his treatment, he will continue to support him as much as he can.”

Prince William has taken center stage as Colonel in Chief

Charles was not entirely absent from this week’s commemorative events in Normandy.

He and the Queen participated in a memorial ceremony on Friday at Ver-sur-Mer, alongside French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte.

However, William took center stage as the Colonel in Chief of the Army Air Corps, donning the Corps' tie.

Notably, the AAC had trained Prince Harry as an Apache helicopter pilot.

Despite his prominent support for military veterans through the Invictus Games and related charities, Harry was not present in France for the memorial services.

Observers have suggested that a rift remains between Harry and his father, as well as the rest of the royal family, following his decision to step down from frontline royal duties.

Prince William will attend state banquet for Emperor of Japan

With William serving as a sounding board and Charles continuing his cancer treatment, it is unsurprising that the Prince of Wales is increasingly taking on senior royal duties on behalf of and alongside his father.

He will ride behind his father's carriage in a modified review of the troops during Trooping the Colour.

Later this month, he will also join his father at the Garter Service at St George's Chapel in Windsor and at Royal Ascot for a day at the races.

Additionally, he will attend the upcoming state banquet for the Emperor and Empress of Japan on June 25.

This will give him more training in the world’s most high-profile apprenticeship, just as his father had.

Internet says William 'has always been loyal to his father'

Reports about the close relationship between Prince William and King Charles prompted many Internet users to share their views on Facebook.

One user said, "Charles should focus on making peace with his son .. who is hurting tremendously .. sooner or later Charles would be gone .. so he better make peace and watch his health."

Another user worried, "Got no time for either .poor harry." A third wrote, "This family was always broken. Very broken." A fourth added, "William has always been loyal to his father and now so supportive."

Someone else claimed, "Like father like son Harry's more like his mum."
