It is believed that Charles was closer to his youngest son, Prince Harry, when he was younger. According to recent revelations, William did not always show respect for his father when he was still the Prince of Wales. Queen Camilla often subtly reminded William of the royal hierarchy when she noticed inappropriate behaviour. In one instance, it is said that William and Catherine asked to join Charles and Camilla's security motorcade after leaving Windsor Castle, but they made the older couple wait.

Frustrated by the delay, Camilla insisted that they go without them, resulting in scenes where the younger royals could only see the blue lights of motorbikes fading into the distance. William and Camilla’s relationship has also been described as complicated, especially in the early stages of their relationship. However, when both Charles and Catherine were diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, they found themselves in a challenging situation. Adversity often brings a relationship together, and despite recent improvements, the experience was still frightening.

Recent months have brought William and Camilla closer together, allowing them to confide in each other about their struggles while maintaining a brave front in public. After the death of the late Queen, William reflected on how she had been present in both the good and bad times of his life. Now, Camilla has shared some of those experiences with him, which could strengthen their bond. Initially, William was shy and reserved in public, often trying to avoid appearing too confident, something he inherited from Charles. However, after marrying Catherine, his confidence and self-esteem changed dramatically in public engagements.

He began to assert himself more effectively and was comfortable taking control of the situation. With his growing experience representing the royal family, public speaking became more natural for William. He now shows genuine joy and pride in speaking in front of crowds, driven by a desire to support others through his humanitarian efforts, reminiscent of his mother, Diana. William wanted to honor her legacy by showing confidence, humility and assurance in his royal role.

His increased confidence in public speaking stems from his commitment to taking on greater responsibilities in his royal duties, with the support of the nation throughout this journey. Following the example of the late Queen, William demonstrated that the royal family was in capable hands, displaying composure and confidence in public settings. His open body language of standing up straight, pushing his shoulders back and holding his hands confidently at his sides fostered confidence in the public.
