Prince William than he is with the younger of his two sons.

Tina Brown alleged that King Charles III has more issues with Prince William than with
Prince Harry. "The king is, I am told, currently less irritated with the prodigal Harry than he is with his elder son and heir," she said, explaining that His Majesty is unhappy with the Prince of Wales' low number of public engagements compared to his own.

According to Tina Brown's source, Prince William and Kate Middleton have prioritized taking care of their children — Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis — over filling up their royal schedules, much to King Charles III's displeasure. "Somehow, William's parenting dedication always seems couched as a tacit criticism of the King's own paternal deficiencies," Brown said. "And after five confirmed family vacations in the past seven months, William's first week-back diary pulsated with two outings, a father-daughter excursion to a Women's Rugby World Cup pool match and a stroll through the Natural History Museum's new gardens. Charles, despite his battle with cancer, has carried out official engagements on 175 days during the past 12 months."

While King Charles III may have a bone to pick with Prince William, he seems to be softening toward
Prince Harry. The duo met for 54 minutes for tea at Clarence House in London during the Duke of Sussex's recent visit to his home country. When Harry was
asked about his father at an event, he responded, "Yes, he's great, thank you."
