Prince William's alleged defiant plan to banish Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from royal life is, according to a new report, deepening family tensions in the UK this year, with insiders claiming it has put him at odds with both King Charles and Kate Middleton.
The claims about William's stance emerge just as he is said to be preparing one of the boldest financial moves of his public career. Heat magazine reports that the 43 year old Prince of Wales has set in motion plans to sell around £500 million worth of property from his Duchy of Cornwall estate, the vast land and asset portfolio he inherited when Charles became king. The proceeds, the outlet says, are earmarked for nature projects and work to end homelessness, issues William has increasingly framed as the core of his long term mission.
