Prince William could cause rift with King Charles over latest TV appearance

Prince William’s latest TV appearance has sparked headlines after he opened up about the impact of his parents’ divorce, with experts warning the comments could leave King Charles “taken aback”.

Speaking in The Reluctant Traveller alongside actor Eugene Levy, the Prince of Wales admitted: “My parents got divorced at 8, so that lasted a short period of time. But you take that and you learn from it and you try and make sure you don’t do the same mistakes as your parents.”

Royal journalist Phil Dampier told the Express: “The King may be slightly upset that William has said he made mistakes.”

”But they are undeniable. We all know his first marriage didn’t work, and sadly there are always consequences from that.”

William, 42, stressed how vital family life is to him and Kate. “The most important thing in my life is family,” he said.

“If you don’t start the children off with a happy, healthy, stable home, you’re setting them up for a hard time.”
