As heir to the throne and as a son of the late Princess Diana, the 41-year-old is accustomed to the scrutiny that comes with being a British royal. But the last few years also saw a high-profile fallout with Prince Harry, his younger brother's exit from royal duties along with wife Meghan, and their criticism of the institution. There was also the scandal over his uncle Prince Andrew's friendship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
"I'm sure when the time comes, Prince William will step up to the plate," said Robert Hardman, author of recent biography"Charles III". "I think it's going to be really interesting over the next few years to see whether people are ready for that or whether there is a kind of line which he ends up having to be very clear that he doesn't cross."
