Prince William will need to step up following the recent football controversy over his absence at the Women’s World Cup final. Despite being the president of England’s Football Association for almost two decades, the 41-year-old heir to the throne chose to go on vacation with his family instead of attending the game. This decision received criticism from both sports fans and royal watchers, who saw it as a snub to the team.
Royal expert Shannon Felton Spence believes that William missed an opportunity to showcase the value of women’s sports by not attending the World Cup. She also criticized the video released by William, which only featured his daughter, Princess Charlotte, as a major misstep. If it had been the men’s team playing, the situation would have likely played out differently.
According to various reports, William’s concerns about climate change influenced his decision not to take a long flight to attend the game. However, Kinsey Schofield, host of the “To Di For Daily” podcast, argues that William would have faced criticism regardless of his decision. Additionally, Schofield suggests that the King’s advisors may have discouraged William from visiting Australia before his father, King Charles III, had the opportunity to do so.
Now, all eyes will be on the Prince and Princess of Wales as they meet with King Charles III to discuss the monarchy’s future. This summit, described as “high-stakes,” will involve setting goals for the family in 2024 and discussing travel and engagements. The couple’s workload has increased significantly since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped back from their senior royal roles, and the death of Queen Elizabeth II added even more responsibilities.
While some critics label William as “work-shy,” others admire his commitment to prioritizing his family. Felton Spence believes that the pressure is on William to balance his duties as a member of the royal family with his role as a father. Additionally, it is expected that discussions will take place regarding the recent controversy surrounding William’s absence from the Women’s World Cup final.
As King Charles III’s reign will likely be shorter than his mother’s, preparations are being made to ensure a smooth transition to William’s kingship. British broadcaster Jonathan Sacerdoti suggests that coordination between the two is necessary to ensure the long-term survival of the monarchy. Ultimately, the Prince and Princess of Wales are likely to take on more responsibilities and be seen more frequently in the public eye in the coming years.
