Breaking News: Biggest revelations from 60 Minutes Australia documentary on Prince William’s future role as King…..See More

Experts and a former aide discussed what kind of monarch the Prince of Wales will be

Royal experts and a former aide have revealed what kind of King that Prince William will be when he ascends the throne.

Revelations during a special episode of 60 Minutes Australia, which aired on Sunday, included a royal mishap over the birth of Princess Charlotte, how the Prince of Wales dealt with his wife’s cancer diagnosis in 2024 and an insight into Prince Harry’s role in the future of the monarchy.

It comes after the Prince and Princess of Wales’s former communications secretary, Jason Knauf, said of William in a teaser for the show: “He’s going to bring [so] much down-to-earth wisdom and connection.”

Jason worked for William and Kate from 2015 to 2021, including when they shared the same office as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

The former royal aide also spoke about William’s complicated relationship with his estranged brother, Prince Harry.

He said: “We have ups and downs in family. Even when you really love someone, you know you can have times when you don’t want to spend that much time with them.

“You know, it’s very difficult to have this stuff play out in the public eye, but he’s [William] chosen to keep his thoughts on it private, and I think all of us who know him really have to respect that we should do the same. But I will, will say of course, it’s been hard and sad, especially for all of us who know both of them.”

The Duke of Sussex first addressed rumours of a rift with his brother on Tom Bradby’s 2019 documentary, Harry & Meghan: An African Journey.

When asked by the reporter at the time whether there was any truth to the reports, Harry said: “inevitably stuff happens” but that there was little truth to the speculation, saying: “The majority of the stuff is created out of nothing but as brothers, you know, you have good days, you have bad days.”

Harry added of William: “We are certainly on different paths at the moment, but I will always be there for him as I know he will always be there for me. We don’t see each other as much as we used to because we are so busy, but I love him dearly.”

The tension deepened after Harry and Meghan’s explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey and a series of shocking revelations in Harry’s memoir, Spare, in which he alleged he had a physical fight with William.
