Prince William holds the title of the Prince of Wales, but some schoolchildren in England have trouble distinguishing him from his father, King Charles. This recently led to a humorous moment that was caught on camera.
New Footage of Prince William Emerges
During a royal visit in late January, a young fan came face to face with Prince William. “Hello, are you the king?” the young boy asked the prince. Without missing a beat, William leaned in and replied, “No, that’s not me, no. I’m his son.” The heartwarming interaction led to a selfie moment between William and the young boy named Mohammed. “Say cheese!” Mohammed exclaimed to the prince. You can watch the adorable footage here:
Prince William, the next in line to the throne, shares a close bond with his father, King Charles. During a concert held following Charles’ coronation in May 2023, William took the stage to offer a tribute to his father. He expressed, “As my grandmother said when she was crowned, coronations are a declaration of our hope for the future. I know she is watching us lovingly from above. She would be a very proud mother,” and added, “Dad, we are all so proud of you.”
A Challenging Time for Prince William
Recently, Jason Knauf, William’s aide, disclosed that the prince hit a low point after receiving the double diagnosis of cancer in both his father and his wife, Kate Middleton. “Within a few weeks, he found out both his wife and his father have cancer. And that is, I couldn’t believe it,” Knauf revealed on 60 Minutes Australia. “It was terrible, absolutely terrible, it was the lowest I have ever seen him.”
King Charles shared his cancer diagnosis in February 2024, and a source from Buckingham Palace confirmed late last year to Town & Country: “His treatment has progressed positively, and as a controlled condition, the treatment cycle will continue next year.” After meeting Donald Trump in December, Prince William revealed Trump’s update: “I asked about his wife and he said she’s doing well. And I asked about his father and his father is very hard, and he loves his father and he loves his wife, so it was sad.”
