When asked about how he feels knowing that his eldest son, 12-year-old Prince George, will one day become king, William admitted their childhood wasn’t always easy.

“Obviously, I want to create a world in which my son is proud of what we do, a world and a job that actually does impact people’s lives for the better,” he said. “That is caveated with, I hope we don’t go back to some of the practices in the past, that Harry and I had to grow up with — and I’ll do everything I can to make sure we don’t regress in that situation.”

The royal said he wants to avoid repeating mistakes from his childhood.MEGA

William went on to explain that he’s determined to do things differently for his children.

“Change for good,” he said. “And I embrace that and I enjoy that change — I don’t fear it. That’s the bit that excites me, is the idea of being able to bring some change.”

He added that he isn’t looking to shake things up entirely but wants to make sure progress continues, adding, “Not overly radical change, but changes that I think that need to happen.”

The comment comes as Harry and Meghan Markle remain estranged from the royal family. The Duke of Sussex has been at odds with his relatives since he and Meghan stepped back from royal duties in 2020 and moved to California.

Harry has spoken openly about the tension, most notably in his memoir, Spare, where he detailed the dynamic between him and William.

“Two years older than me, Willy was the Heir, whereas I was the Spare,” Harry wrote. “This wasn’t merely how the press referred to us — though it was definitely that. This was shorthand often used by Pa and Mummy and Grandpa. And even Granny.”

The book also included explosive claims, including an alleged physical altercation where William “grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace and he knocked me to the floor,” Harry wrote, adding that the scuffle left him with “scrapes and bruises.”

Still, Harry insisted the book wasn’t about causing drama.

“It was a series of corrections to stories already out there. One point of view had been put out and it needed to be corrected,” he explained in an interview. “It was a difficult message, but I did it in the best way possible. My conscience is clear.”

The 40-year-old added, “It is not about revenge, it is about accountability.”

Harry has also credited Meghan, 44, for encouraging him to live authentically.

“Telling the truth is the most efficient way to live,” he recalled her saying. “It is the thing I always fall back on. Always. And if you think like that, who would be stupid enough to lie? It takes up too much time and effort.”

Prince Harry recently reunited with King Charles in London.MEGA

Despite years of distance, Harry reunited with his father, King Charles, on September 10. He was spotted arriving at Clarence House in London before leaving less than an hour later.

That same evening, Harry appeared at The Gherkin for an event promoting the Invictus Games. When asked about his father, he kept it short, stating: “Yes, he’s great. Thank you.”

Sources said aides from both sides had been quietly working on a reunion since July. Earlier in May, Harry told the BBC he hoped to “reconcile” with his father, which eventually led to the September meeting.
