Experts say Camilla will push Prince William to exploit Prince Charles' generosity.

Yes, they may be the British royal family, but at the end of the day, they are still just a family, in a row just like the rest of us. Like many father-son duos, Prince Charles and Prince William's relationship has not always been smooth sailing, and when arguments get out of hand, their two wives (Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, respectively) seem to intercede.

Camilla's is fiercely protective of her husband of 17 years and much longer partner, Prince Charles. According to royal family expert Robert Jobson, Camilla is prepared to put the kibosh on William if he abuses Prince Charles' generosity, according to the Daily Express. Whereas the Prince of Wales tends to "tread carefully" when dealing with William, Camilla is "not so accommodating," Jobson said.

"In fact, the Duchess feels it is her duty to protect the Prince of Wales from herself at times," Jobson said in his new book, William at 40: The Making of a Modern, released on June 21, William's 40th birthday. Monarch" (opens in a new tab)." He intends to be king, and she is not averse to reminding the rest of the clan of that from time to time.

Jobson's book also quotes a former royal official who claims that William considers himself "on the same level" as his father, since both are heirs to the throne, rather than being more aware that Prince Charles' reign precedes William. (According to the Daily Express, Prince Charles has always respected his mother, the Queen, as above him in the royal pecking order.) Camilla also does not like to engage in head-on confrontation, but uses more subtle means to get her point across.

Passing on the words of another courtier, Jobson writes "As they left Windsor Castle after one of their joint functions, the Duke of Cambridge learned that his father was traveling with a police escort from the Special Constable's Group because of his royal status. The Duke of Cambridge asked his father if he and the Princess Catherine could follow behind in a convoy. The Prince of Wales agreed. However, after being kept waiting for several minutes by Prince William and his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall insisted on going without her eldest son. When Prince William and Catherine emerged, they could only see the flashing blue lights of their motorcycle fading into the distance."

On other occasions, Jobson says, Kate would use her "diplomatic skills" to mediate parent-child fights.

"Sometimes it took the deft diplomatic skills of his wife Catherine to smooth the way between father and son," the Daily Express reported.

"[Charles and William's] discrepancies have somehow laid bare even their shared passion for the environment. The Duke of Cambridge has done a masterful job of breathing hope into the debate over climate change. His initiative (the Earthshot Prize Competition) is to find ways to stop and slow the damage. The Prince of Wales presents a passionate, albeit apocalyptic, scenario."

The Duke of Cambridge's "The Prince of Wales is a great example of a man who is not afraid to take action.

Both William and Harry tend to "feel unpredictable at times," and Jobson "admits that Prince Charles often finds it difficult to gauge."

With William in particular, Jobson said, "his fiery temper can explode at any time-usually when he is frustrated or when it comes to family matters." Even the executives in his circle "check the wind" before indulging in complacency in his presence or raising issues that might be better taken up at another time." Other insiders confide that William is emotional and can be 'difficult to handle' at times. '"

Jobson said that even William's own father sometimes doesn't know how to react. '[William's belligerence sometimes shocks his father, who does not like confrontation. As a result, Charles tends to be cautious when dealing with his heir, unwilling to pull up William's lack of respect."

And that seems to be when Camilla is more likely to intervene.
