Prince William earned a new title from royal fans after the release of his environment documentary, A Planet For Us. They think that he's the rightful "People's Prince," after his mother, Princess Diana, who was dubbed the People's Princess.
According to royal expert Camilla Tominey, Prince William is more deserving of the role as the People's Prince than his brother, Prince Harry. Tominey reflected on giving this title to the Duke of Cambridge after watching him talk about different bugs with primary school children in the documentary.
Tominey wrote in her column on Telegraph that William looked so at peace with himself as he engaged with the kids. The royal also appeared quite natural and "not at all fake" around the children. He also showed he had the uncanny ability to connect so well with the people, just like his mother.
The latest documentary has indeed shone the light on the Duke of Cambridge while eclipsing his younger brother. Years ago, Prince Harry was seen as the most likable royal even as he committed many mistakes in his youth.
Prince William is also approaching environment issues differently compared to Prince Harry. A source told Daily Express that the second in line to the throne doesn't want to tell people how they should live a green and sustainable life.
Instead, William came up with the Earthshot prize to find solutions and answers. The source said he's more realistic in tackling the challenges faced by the world today.
Meanwhile, royal biographer Robert Lacey wrote in the upcoming book about William and Harry, that the Duke of Sussex was "set up" to be the "bad boy" in the royal family. In Battle of Brothers: The Inside Story of a Family in Tumult, Lacey revealed that Harry has been making controversial headlines in his teen. He had fights with the paparazzi and he was caught drinking as an underage. He also smoked weed and confessed this mistake to his father.
Prince Charles intervened and took Harry to a drug rehab facility so he could see the struggles recovering addicts faced. But Lacey said the headlines, at that time, was more favorable to Charles, as a concerned dad, than to Harry, as the delinquent.
In 2005, Prince Harry had to issue a public apology for wearing a Nazi uniform at a costume party. Lacey said that, unknown to many, it was Prince William who pushed Harry to wear the offensive costume and laughed at his brother after the backlash.
