PRINCE CHARLES AND PRINCE WILLIAM: ROYAL RIVALS OR FATHER AND SON?

The death of a mother, the alienation of a wife and a lover in the background- these striking events somehow have not broken the love of these two men-father and son.

A generous son to his father, and a great role model for his brother, William was always an enormous comfort for his mother.

Very different people, father and son may yet become rivals as public opinion builds against Charles and Camilla becoming King and Queen.

Unlike Charles, William is a man of his time and perhaps here is where the rivalry could emerge- what sort of image should the King have in an increasingly modern and multicultural Britain?
