The Prince of Wales, 42, is said to be putting his foot down on several key decisions about the Firm’s long-term future.

Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, has been a member of the Royal Family for more than two decades - but she has spoken about the difficulties she faced in her early years

Prince William is the “new rock” and “steadfast anchor” of the royal family, royal biographer Dr. Tessa Dunlop wrote, calling the Prince of Wales “a reincarnation of his late grandmother” Queen Elizabeth.

Prince William has a keen eye on his future. While King Charles III hasn't yet given up his post as monarch, it appears his heir is already preparing for when he ascends the throne. The Prince of Wales reportedly intends to continue his father's plans to "slim down" the monarchy.

The Prince of Wales is allegedly "seizing more power" from King Charles, and wants to give "some lesser-known royals more of a spotlight."
