Prince Charles and his son Prince William were heard having 'explosive rows' when he felt he was being "airbrushed" out of the Cambridge family's lives, it has been claimed.
Insiders claim the Prince of Wales felt "bruised" when his son became extremely close to the Middleton family.
The Mail reports that Charles organised his diary six months in advance which meant he was rarely able to attend last minute family events, including "impromptu" birthday parties for Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Royal editor Rebecca English explains that the heir to the throne felt "airbrushed" out of William's life.
She writes: "Explosive rows between father and son were often overheard by staff, with Charles — who hates family confrontations — burying himself in his paperwork to avoid the conflict."
However insiders claim that relations between William and Charles have improved over the years and they are now much closer, reports the Mirror.
They have come together to support the Queen through a series of huge royal decisions, including the conditions of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's new, non-royal lives and stripping Prince Andrew of his royal titles.
An insider tells the newspaper: "They are much more on the same page now. They will always be quite different characters, but there's a mutual respect."
Most recently, they jointly "blocked" Prince Andrew from joining the senior royals for the Garter Day procession at Windsor Castle.
While he still took part in the private ceremony, which takes place behind closed doors, he was missing from the public section of the day with the Queen apparently telling him to stay out of sight “for his own good” after Charles and William raised fears of a public backlash.
