King Charles once had a blunt response to a request from his son Prince William over royal duties, a royal book has claimed.
Royal author, Robert Jobson, has delved into the relationship between father and son in his new book, The Windsor Legacy, serialised in the Daily Mail.

King Charles and Prince William’s relationship
In the book, the writer reflects on the profound effect the king’s cancer diagnosis has had on Prince William.
King Charles was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer early last year. The news was made public on February 5, 2024. It came after he underwent a procedure for an enlarged prostate. He continues to undergo treatment for his diagnosis.
Jobson claims in his book that the father and son have clashed a little over King Charles’ reluctance to slow down.
While Prince William apparently urged his father to listen to the advice of his medical team and take things easy in the wake of his illness, the king appeared to have done the very opposite.
“Although Charles often jokes with friends about reaching that ‘worryingly decrepit stage’ of life, he has continued to work hard while continuing his cancer treatment,” Jobson writes. “Meanwhile, Queen Camilla has stepped up the number of her engagements, emerging as a steady force during a time of royal uncertainty.”
