King Charles and Prince Williamâs firstborns were sons, respectively. But when the monarch learned that Kate Middleton was expecting, he was reportedly anxious. RadarOnline mentioned royal author Valentine Rowâs new book, âPower and the Palace,â in which the author talked about the kingâs worries. In it, Row claimed that the father of two used to ask his aides hypothetical questions about the monarchy getting a âfemale heir.â
Meanwhile, a source told the outlet that the king was concerned about the crownâs âlong-term survival.â Allegedly, he was anxious about the transformation in the âtraditional royal structuresâ if Middleton gave birth to a girl.
According to an insider, he was not being âsexist,â but was thinking of âsymbolismâ and âlineage.â

According to Rowâs book, Prince Williamâs father apparently asked the guest if the House of Windsor name would change if a girl were born. He seemingly wanted to know what name the royal family would get if his hypothetical granddaughter got married.âHe was genuinely worried about how a name change might look,â a palace insider said. They stated that the âWindsorsâ play a pivotal role in the âmonarchyâs identity,â calling it the âbrand.â Reportedly, the king was afraid of the crownâs reputation. âCharles feared that if the name shifted, it might weaken the royal image or confuse its continuity,â they added.
