EXCLUSIVE: William is ‘determined’ for his kids to have different life to him, expert says

The Prince of Wales is ‘determined’ to make sure his own children are given a different life to the one he and Prince Harry had growing up, an expert has claimed

Prince William is determined to give his three children a different life from the one he and Prince Harry had growing up, a body language expert has claimed.

William and his brother Harry have previously opened up about their difficult childhoods, as the pair were first-hand witnesses to their parents’ volatile marriage and subsequent divorce. These marital issues played out in full view of the public, creating a buzz in the media – which meant the boys, then aged fourteen and twelve, were banned from watching TV while at Ludgrove boarding school.

The following year, tragedy struck when their mother, Diana, Princess of Wales suddenly died in a car crash while on a trip to Paris in 1997. It was later revealed that at her funeral, the brothers had only agreed to walk behind her coffin at the 11th hour after being persuaded by their father who wanted to walk.

And as heir to the throne, William had the added pressure of ensuring he was brought up within the confines of traditional Royal protocols. But an expert now claims that the future King’s choice of pose in a new Father’s Day snap suggests he is determined to give his children a very different life than the one he had growing up.

To mark Father’s Day on Sunday, Willaim’s children shared the sweet photo on Kensington’s X account featuring them wrapped around their father as the quartet gazes out to the Norfolk sea with their backs to the camera. Kate, Princess of Wales, took the photo herself, while a sweet caption read: “We love you, Papa. Happy Father’s Day. G, C & L.”

The Father’s Day post comes after William shared his own moving message in tribute to the King as he revealed his affectionate nickname for the monarch. In a social media post, the Prince of Wales said: “Happy Father’s Day, Pa. W” and attached a photo of a young William next to the future king, who had a small football at his feet.

According to body language expert Judi James, William’s pose in the new snap with his children suggests he is determined to forge a different life for the young Royals than the one he had growing up. She told the Mirror: “The contrast between William’s choice of pose to illustrate his own view of fatherhood and the pose he chose to celebrate his own father’s role in his life could hardly be stronger, suggesting that although he appreciates the kind of upbringing he had, he is determined to forge something different for his own children.”

She added that the future King has taken experiences from his past to create a more “modern” family unit. She said: “William continually shows how he uses lessons from his past to forge the kind of family unit he sees as more modern and more ideal. His understanding of duty and loyalty seems strong but he is clearly also determined to create a more casual and playful life for his own children than he or his father were allowed to enjoy.”

Prince William and Prince Harry previously opened up about the devastating impact their parents’ divorce had on them growing up. Speaking on the ITV Documentary Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy, which aired in July 2017, Harry said: “There was the point where our parents split and… we never saw our mother enough or we never saw our father enough.

He added: “There was a lot of travelling and a lot of fights on the back seat with my brother, which I would win. There was all that to contend with. I don’t pretend we’re the only people to have to deal with that, but it was an interesting way of growing up.”

Opening up on the tragic death of his mother, Diana, Prince William added: “Even now I can feel the hugs that she used to give us. I miss that, I miss that feeling, I miss that part of a family, I miss having that mother to be able to give you those hugs, give you that compassion that I think everybody needs.”
