Prince Charles was heard having "explosive rows" with his son Prince William when he felt he was being "airbrushed" out of the Cambridge family's lives, it has been claimed.
According to insiders, the Prince of Wales felt "bruised" when Wills became extremely close to the Middleton family - who they described as his "surrogate family".
Speaking to The Mail, they explained that workaholic 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.
