One of key differences between King Charles and Prince William's approach to charitable engagements is that during his 50 year tenure as the Prince of Wales, the King represented hundreds of charities, whereas William has significantly fewer but works tirelessly to make a real difference in those areas. While the King has had to dispense with many of his patronages since his reign began to make way for more constitutional duties, he has constantly been hailed as one of the hardest working members of the Royal Family.
However, this difference in a public-facing workload is something that former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond feels is to William's credit as he knows just how important a work-life balance is. Speaking exclusively to OK!, Jennie said: "With the late Queen’s ailing health, William probably had to step up to his full time royal job quicker than he might have hoped, but you can see now how committed he is.
"However, I also very much admire the fact that he’s not a workaholic like his father, he knows how important family life is and how much it means to his children to be around at weekends and holidays and whenever he can. "He seems to be a full on, hands-on, caring dad is with a house full of fun and laughter.
And, in his royal role, he is coming up with new ideas, new ways of working to make sure that the monarchy stays relevant and moves with the times." Prince William has previously spoken about how disciplined and how much of a workaholic his father is.To mark the King's milestone 70th birthday, the BBC released a documentary, Prince, Son and Heir: Charles at 70, where they interviewed family members and those closest to Charles. "He has amazing personal discipline," William said in the documentary.
