William assumes a ‘Prince Philip role’ by adopting a ‘disciplinarian’ approach towards Harry.-Thaoo

Prince William is said to rule over the Royal family with a ‘rod of iron’ just like his grandfather Prince Philip – and he’s even stood firm when it comes to the heartfelt wishes of his father, King Charles

Following Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh’s death in 2021, the Royal Family lost a no-nonsense role model who ruled over the ‘firm’ with a ‘rod of iron’ – and his absence has been keenly felt.

Now his grandson Prince William has reportedly taken on his grandfather’s role as the royals navigate troubled waters, and is said to channel this ‘disciplinarian’ approach when dealing with his younger brother, Prince Harry.

The ‘strength and stay’ of Her Majesty, the late Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip was known for his cheeky jokes and frequent clangers. But behind palace doors, the Duke, who died at the age of 99, worked to make sure everything ran seamlessly – no ifs and no buts.

Now heir to the throne William has reportedly taken a leaf out of his grandfather’s book when it comes to keeping other r oyals in check.

In an interview with the Daily Beast, a source revealed that William, 42, is ‘calling the shots’, and has very taken on the position as family ‘disciplinarian’. They shared: “There is a sense that William has stepped into the Prince Philip role. Philip ruled the family with a rod of iron and you saw when he died that discipline collapsed. Now William is calling the shots when it comes to family discipline.”

According to the source, this steely side is evident in his handling of the ongoing feud with Prince Harry. Although King Charles himself is allegedly keen to see more of his young son, William has stood firm, in a revealing move the source notes ‘tells you everything you need to know about who is really in charge’.

The future King has had to stay strong amid a tough time for senior royals. His father King Charles, has now resumed some duties while continuing his cancer treatment, while his wife Princess Kate is continuing a course of preventative chemotherapy following her own cancer diagnosis.

It’s expected the Royal Family will now be preparing for their annual trip to Balmoral, in the Scottish Highlands, with this year’s trip set to be an especially important opportunity to ‘take stock’. Jennie Bond, the former BBC Royal correspondent, told OK! : “It’s been one heck of a year for the Royal Family so far and nothing would please the King more than to have his close family gathered together in the peace of Balmoral for a time to take stock together, mark the passing of an incredibly difficult few months and look to the future.”

She continued: “Like Catherine herself has said, cancer treatment brings with it a large measure of uncertainty and that must extend to whether she is able to spend part of the summer holidays at Balmoral. If she does go, I’m sure the whole family will want to surround her with love, support and renewed strength. She, meanwhile, will want to make the summer months as fun and carefree for the children as she possibly can after everything she’s been through.”
