Despite maintaining a stoic demeanor in public, sources have revealed that Prince William is seething behind closed doors, particularly after Meghan Markle’s public remarks about his family. Markle alleged that Kate Middleton made her cry before her 2018 wedding and insinuated that both Kate and Prince Charles were racist, even going as far as questioning the skin color of her unborn son.

According to an insider, “I believe Prince William is seeking revenge by strategically appointing individuals who have had public disagreements with Meghan to prominent positions within the royal circles.”

Recently, longtime royal aide Jason Knauf was named CEO for the Earthshot Prize, an environmental charity established by Prince William in 2020. Knauf had previously served as communication secretary for William, Kate, Harry, and Meghan, but later accused Meghan of bullying behavior, claiming she had driven away two staff members with her outbursts. Meghan denied these allegations.

Earlier this year, Prince Harry stepped down as patron for Sentebale, an African charity he co-founded 19 years ago, after a dispute with chairwoman Dr. Sophie Chanduka. Following this, William’s close aide and ally Iain Rawlinson was appointed to the organization’s board of trustees.
