Prince William is not always the easiest person to work with, according to a new royal book.
“He can be difficult,” a senior royal household figure told author Robert Jobson for his recently released biography, “Our King: Charles III: The Man and the Monarch Revealed.“
He is a driven person and that can make him impatient,” the source continued about the newly anointed Prince of Wales, 40.
The insider compared him to King Charles, 74, who apparently possesses more patience.
That can make William short-tempered when dealing with Charles,” they added. “The Boss (Charles) has a temper, too, but it does not go on and on. He can get frustrated and flare up and then, in an instant, it is forgotten about. With William, it is rarely forgotten.”
In fact, Charles’s short fuse was on display in the days after Queen Elizabeth’s passing last September.
The royal, 74, was filmed angrily gesturing to have aides clear a desk where he was about to sign the Accession Proclamation, which officially made him the monarch of the UK and Commonwealth.
He was also caught having a teeny temper tantrum over a leaky pen while visiting the royal residence of Hillsborough Castle in Northern Ireland.
In an instantly viral video, Charles was heard seething over the offending pen while furiously wiping away black ink from his hands with a handkerchief.
Jobson also revealed that Charles has been shocked by his sons’ sometimes vicious tempers which remind him of their late mother Princess Diana’s umbrage.
“He knew that they were both strong-willed, stubborn even; conflict would be very difficult to manage and could have a detrimental impact on the monarchy itself,” the “William at 40: The Making of a Modern Monarch” author further writes.
“Sometimes the level of belligerence between his sons, and indeed towards him, has shocked Charles.”
