No, we are not talking about his fashion sense. Apparently, a lot of people believe that Prince William gets his ‘style’ from his grandmother Queen Elizabeth and by that we mean his style in the way he plans on ruling the monarchy one day.
While there’s no doubt that Queen Elizabeth has been preparing her grandson for when he one day takes the throne, insiders believe that the Duke of Cambridge has clearly been taking a lot of notes in the interim from her. Here’s what you need to know.
Prince William Gets His Style From His Grandmother Queen Elizabeth
Robert Lacey, a veteran royal historian and author of the best-selling book Battle of the Brothers, thinks that Prince William is certainly behaving the way Queen Elizabeth would expect from him.
He puts it this way to People, “The prince takes his style from his royal grandmother, who intervened as the marriage of William’s parents dissolved in 1995. The 13-year-old was in a fragile place — alone and just starting boarding at the elite Eton College across the river from Windsor. Concerned for her grandson’s emotional state, the Queen invited William up to join her when Eton boys went home for the weekend. ”
Lacey also points out that Queen Elizabeth has modeled herself form her own grandmother, Queen Mary, rather than the Queen Mother, who was apparently “too soft and cuddly.” He also added that it was Prince Philip’s idea for Queen Elizabeth to have regular lunches with her grandson William.
“Philip was crucial in helping coach William as a future King,” he said. “It was Philip’s idea to set up the lunches between William and his grandmother. When the time came for the Queen to talk business with William, Philip would quietly excuse himself because he didn’t feel that the constitutional side of the Queen’s job was something he wanted to interfere in.”
“The British throne has survived beheading, exile and enough scandal to stock entire libraries. Now a new leader — William, not Charles — is paving the way forward,” Lacy added.
Now, how Prince Charles feels about that last line, no one knows, but it looks like it will certainly be some time before he takes the throne himself.
