## Resource

A new book suggests Prince William was not immune to criticism in his early royal years, with claims he was labeled “work shy” and pushed to define his role. We also look at reported tensions ahead of Harry and Meghan’s wedding, including concerns over Princess Diana’s jewelry, plus a glimpse at William’s surprisingly low-key evenings watching The Traitors. There’s also a family story involving King Charles’s eco-friendly Aston Martin, a former aide reflecting on life inside the Wales household, and a look at the next generation of younger royals who may soon step forward.
