King Charles has 'made it clear' during and after his recent visit to the United States that he remains the 'top dog' in the monarchy and that Prince William must 'know his place' and wait his turn, an insider has claimed to US outlet In Touch.

Now, according to a source speaking to the magazine, the king's mood has shifted.
