Trouble in the Palace? King Charles Reportedly ‘Unhappy’ With William & Kate’s Future Path They’re the most admired royal couple of a generation — but their latest future plans may have just shaken the throne itself
King Charles is supposedly not okay with Prince William and Kate Middleton‘s new plans for the future. Recently, there have been reports about the Prince and Princess of Wales considering yet another move after three years at Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor Castle estate. William and Kate are reportedly now eyeing Fort Belvedere in Windsor Great Park. However, according to some new claims, Charles may not be in favor of the next move of the British royal family members.
King Charles is not okay with Prince William spending millions on Fort Belvedere renovations, claims ‘source’
A new report has suggested that King Charles may be in disagreement with Prince William and Kate Middleton’s next potential royal move. The Daily Mail mentioned that The Mail on Sunday newspaper exclusively learned from royal sources that the prince and princess are eyeing Fort Belvedere. William and Kate are currently living in Adelaide Cottage, where they moved in 2022. The royal couple is reportedly already considering moving just three years after living there with their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
However, Charles might not be okay with William and Kate’s plans. Rob Shuter’s exclusive #ShuterScoop report claims that the king is “fuming” over the cost. A palace source revealed that it will “take millions to renovate.” They also claimed that “Charles sees it as an unnecessary extravagance.” The report notes that the king has reportedly been cutting down the budgets across the British royal family. However, William and Kate are now focused on “privacy” and “space.” They are seemingly also considering future plans for Prince George.
An insider further explained to #ShuterScoop that William and Kate have “outgrown Adelaide Cottage.” They suggested that Fort Belvedere seemingly has “all” the factors suitable for the royal couple and their children. The insider said that it has “history, land, and proximity to Eton.” Meanwhile, the next grand residence that William and Kate are eyeing is infamously connected to King Edward VIII’s. The Daily Mail notes that the magnificent mansion is where he signed the papers that sealed his abdication to marry Wallis Simpson.
King Charles Not Okay With Prince William & Kate Middleton’s New Future Plans, Claims ‘Source’
In a royal family built on tradition, timing, and tightly controlled narratives, even the slightest deviation can send shockwaves through the palace. And now, according to a close insider, Prince William and Princess Kate’s recently revealed future plans have done exactly that — leaving King Charles “not okay” and reportedly “deeply unsettled.”
A New Direction — Without the King’s Blessing?
Sources close to the palace have told royal correspondents that William and Kate have begun mapping out a bold, modernized vision of their roles as future king and queen — and they’re doing it without waiting for official royal approval.
Their plans reportedly involve:
-
Taking greater control of their public image
-
Shifting focus toward digital engagement over traditional royal duties
-
A more relaxed, accessible style of royal presence, especially among younger generations
-
Delaying or redefining certain ceremonial obligations that Charles has long held sacred
“They want to be a 21st-century monarchy — not a replica of the past,” the insider said. “But Charles is still very attached to legacy, tradition, and keeping royal protocol intact.”
Generational Divide or Power Struggle?
While Prince William is the heir to the throne, his growing popularity — combined with Kate’s global admiration — has turned the couple into a powerful brand of their own. And that, according to insiders, is beginning to overshadow the King’s own reign.
“It’s not that they’re trying to push Charles aside,” one royal observer commented. “But it’s clear they are moving at their own pace — and making choices that don’t always align with the King’s vision.”
Royal watchers say that while Charles sees the monarchy as a centuries-old institution rooted in tradition and diplomacy, William and Kate see it as an evolving platform for social impact and cultural relevance.
And that difference in worldview? It’s creating silent but growing tension behind palace doors.
