Prince William and Kate have had a hectic start to the year, even by their standards. Most of us now refer to our parents as “mom” and “dad” or a variant on that theme.

However, Prince George and Princess Charlotte refer to their father, Prince William, in completely different ways.William is the next in line to succeed, which comes with a great deal of responsibility. Scandals, as history has shown, never make a royal’s job easier.
He and Kate Middleton have taken on their royal duties with great seriously, and they have thus far done a wonderful job of keeping their names out of rumors and conjecture.

Such a scandal began when Harry and Meghan left the Firm years ago. Then, things took an even more serious turn after their Oprah appearance and more recently, their open Netflix series. In the documentary that was released in December, William and Kate were mostly spared any personal criticism. But they had nowhere to run once Harry’s book Spare was published.
