Parenting is never easy, never mind parenting as part of one of the oldest and most scrutinised royal families. Reflecting on how Queen Elizabeth approached this with her four children, royal historian David Cannadine has claimed that "guilt" could have been a factor for her younger sons Andrew and Edward.
Writing in his book, Queen Elizabeth II: A Concise Biography of an Exceptional Sovereign, David claimed, "The Queen indulged her two younger sons [Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Prince Edward] too much". He also suggested that this could have been a result of King Charles’s "complaints that his parents had been too distant".
