William Just Hinted He Also Has Issues With Meghan After Reports He'll Have Harry 'Harshly Dealt With' Once He's KingMeanwhile, King Charles and his siblings attended the Easter Mattins church service at St. George's Chapel, located in Windsor Castle, on April 20. The Royal family in attendance were Princess Anne with her husband Sir Timothy Laurence, Prince Andrew with his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson and Prince Edward with his wife Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh.
It was reported that William and Kate would not be doing the Royal Easter Tradition on Thursday, April 17. The family reportedly wanted to spend time with their children before they went back to school. 'Everyone understood the family not attending last year when Kate was sick, but there's been a lot of raised eyebrows at the palace about William's decision to skip again this year,' the insider added. 'It feels like a deliberate move and even a snub.'
Everything still looks like it's in paradise for the Wales with the couple's bond stronger than ever after Kate's remission from cancer in January 2025.
However, Buckingham Palace also raised its eyebrows when Prince William recently hired Princess Diana's divorce lawyers. William was regularly using his father's lawyers Harbottle & Lewis and its partner, Gerrard Tyrrell — and made the move to Mishcon de Reya, which represented Princess Diana in her divorce from Charles a year before her accidental death. 'William wanted to strike out on his own,' a source tells the Daily Mail, who broke this news. 'He did not want to continue using his father's lawyers. It's as simple as that. He wants to be his own man.'
The unexpected move has been 'the talk of legal circles' and Buckingham Palace thinks it's 'the latest example of his desire to follow a different path from that of his father.' William's friend told the Daily Mail, saying 'William wants to do things differently from his father, and wants to be seen to do them differently.'
