Prince William is reminded he cannot always stay silent as a solution to problems.
The Prince of Wales, who has largely kept mum as his maternal uncle, Earl Spencer, publish his new book on Princess Diana, is reminded he would have to speak up at some point.
Expert Jasmine Carey writes for Express: “By ignoring the questions, and refusing to issue a statement, he has essentially slammed the door on the book disrupting his life. A success, some may say.”
She adds: “However, while he has taken exactly the right approach this time, I have a feeling that this approach is not always going to work for William. Especially not when he is King.”
