Prince William reportedly refused to attend this year\u2019s royal Easter celebrations unless he got assurances<\/em> that Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice weren\u2019t going to be there, which is just the latest in his \u201cruthless\u201d attempts to flex some power\u2014despite the fact that his dad is\u2026very much still king.<\/p>\n

A source tells Rob Shuter<\/em><\/a> that \u201cWilliam is not afraid to make hard calls. And right now, that\u2019s exactly what the Royal Family needs. Charles leads with his heart. William leads with strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n

They add that \u201cHe doesn\u2019t forget, and he doesn\u2019t forgive easily,. If you cross the line, that\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Apparently, \u201cthe monarchy is under more pressure than ever\u201d (you know, what with ex-Prince Andrew being literally arrested), and ultimately the royals need someone in charge \u201cwho can make tough, unpopular decisions.\u201d Which William has no problem doing!<\/p>\n

\u201cHe understands the stakes,\u201d the insider says. \u201cThis isn\u2019t just family\u2014it\u2019s a business. Andrew is a problem. Harry is a problem. William knows that\u2014and he acts accordingly. He\u2019s not trying to be liked. He\u2019s trying to protect the monarchy.\u201d<\/p>\n

And ultimately, Prince William holds all the cards. A source previously said that when it came to Easter, \u201cThe message was simple. If certain people are there, we won\u2019t be. You can\u2019t have a royal event without William and his family. If they don\u2019t show, the whole thing collapses.\u201d<\/p>\n
