According to the new book ‘Our King: Charles III: The Man and the Monarch Revealed’, royal correspondent Robert Jobson wrote that King Charles was "shocked" by William and Harry's "level of belligerence" towards each other.
“On occasions, both his sons have challenged him. William has even been known to speak forcefully to his father. One exchange between them was so heated that it left Charles shaken,” the book noted.
Charles hoped his sons would sort things out without needing any intervention, the author claimed, writing, "Both of his sons' tempers are reminiscent of their mother Diana's, which Charles had struggled to cope with during their marriage. Thus the prince chose not to intervene, hoping that in time it would all blow over. But instead of a line being drawn under it, the relationship between his sons deteriorated further."
