Now with one of his uncles and cousins caught in limbo over their future with the Crown, it seems Prince William is looking to his extended family, with the hopes of keeping the second generation beholden to the establishment so they don’t end up like Meghan Markle.
The heir’s plans and hopes are shattered by a close source Heat World.
According to their findings, the person Prince William is intent on bringing to the firm as the senior royal is none other than Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie’s son James.
While still within his right to use the title of ‘Prince’, he has spent most of his life away from the public eye and even the heir apparent has begun to respect him.
Additionally, “There’s a lot of buzz about James because he’s such a handsome kid, girls are already crazy about him.”
His uncle, the future King of England, also thinks his character is ‘impeccable’, the source said. “And he also sees the power to use all the attention he’s getting for the good of the institution.”
Overall, William is said to want to ‘engage’ the younger generation and “he feels strongly that James is the person who can help promote that,” he says.
“William is very wise, if James had not been such a strong young man, he would not have been so keen to bring him in and give him the keys to the castle because he knows how quickly that kind of power can go to one’s head.”
Additionally, this motivation for bringing together the royals, who grew up mostly separately, is because “Harry is horrified by what happened when he brought Meghan with him. That whole nightmare has made him extremely paranoid about anyone who seems even the slightest bit fame-hungry. That’s why James is perfect in William’s eyes.”
The only question that remains now, which the source said is whether James wants a more public-facing role, given his established shyness.
“William is not pressuring her, but he has his heart set on making James a part of his new monarchy and will do everything he can to guide him in that direction,” the source said at the end of the chat.
