Prince William (40) and Princess Kate (41, born Kate Middleton) stand for the future of the British monarchy and therefore also know how to put themselves in the right light. They appear approachable and down-to-earth. But the prince of all people has a problem with the perfect staging from time to time, as an insider has now revealed.

That bothers Prince William in joint photos with his wife Kate

King Charles was also jealous of ex-wife Princess Diana

Although Prince William is a little annoyed that his wife is favored by the press, it doesn’t seem to be seriously damaging the marital peace. The two do not only appear in public as a closed unit.

We want to see her, we don’t want to see him,” said Prince William and Prince Harry’s (38) mother, adding, “He took it out on me, he was jealous.”

King Charles made a bitter joke about Princess Diana during his speech

How much the popularity of his then wife weighed on him was discussed by the then Prince Charles in a speech in South Korea in 1981. At the time, he joked after a joint appearance with a bitter undertone: “I’ve come to the conclusion that it would have been much easier to have two women covering both sides of the street and I would have to go in the middle and run the operation can.”
