Prince Philip reportedly had a brutal verdict on King Charles III's decision to open up about his unhappy childhood, calling it 'bloody stupid' and viewing his eldest son as 'self-indulgent', according to royal author Gyles Brandreth.
The revelation offers a striking glimpse into the private tensions behind the polished image of the Royal Family. Charles, then the Prince of Wales, had allowed biographer Jonathan Dimbleby to publish deeply personal details about his relationship with his parents, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip.
