Royal experts claimed that Prince Charles was always overlooked and left out of Prince William and Prince Harry's lives, especially during their childhood. Prince Charles was often overshadowed by Princess Diana when it came to raising their children.
It also did not help that most media attention was concentrated on Princess Diana as an unorthodox hands-on royal mother to the young princes. And because of this, most people tend to focus more on the impact Princess Diana has on her sons' characters and less on Prince Charles minimal positive influence on his two heirs.
Even though it is not exactly public knowledge, Prince Charles cares deeply about Prince William and Prince Harry. He is even really overprotective of the two princes and has worked hard alongside his previous and late wife to shield the boys from any sort of harassment by the aggressive media and press personnel back in the day.
But despite his efforts in being a good role model and father figure to the younger princes, Princess Diana always seems to outshine him when it comes to talks of being the key person in Prince William's as well as Prince Harry's character and personality development.
Moreover, both princes have always talked about the happy and fun times in their childhood. And all those memories mostly contained Princess Diana and her planned and fun-filled trips, and the noticeable theme is that Prince Charles is in close-to-none of those fun times and happy childhood memories of theirs.
Dr. Kate William, a Royal expert, claims that Prince William and Prince Harry attributed their amazing childhood to their late mother, the Princess of Wales, who always prioritized them, spent time with them, and took them to exciting places to try and experience new things all the time.
However, even though Princess Diana left some tough shoes to fill in as a parent when she passed away, both Prince William and Prince Harry have spoken highly of Prince Charles and how he has taught them a lot of important lessons and especially in how to use their voice to advocate for causes that truly matter.
We have Prince Charles to thank for molding Prince William and Prince Harry into the environment advocates and humanitarians they are today. Prince Charles' tireless efforts in running organizations devoted to preserving the environment have rubbed off on not only his sons but in their respective wives as well.
Both Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle are also widely known to be environmental advocates. With Prince Charles leading the pack, the whole royal family has continued to campaign for raising awareness about countless environmental issues.
