Prince William discusses his latest statement amid King Charles abdication rumors
Prince William lost his support after he shared his opinion on a controversial issue amid rumors that King Charles could abdicate his throne.
William, Prince of Wales, addressed the current conflict in the Middle East and called for an “end to the fighting,” which upset few of his supporters.
While William was very careful with his words so as not to hurt the feelings of his followers, he still managed to anger some of his fans and royal followers.
Speaking of his controversial statement, GB News' Mark Dolan hit out at the Prince of Wales, calling him “arrogant and haughty.”

Reacting to this, royal author and broadcaster Pandora Forsyth stated that the statement was not a “mistake” but straight up a “shock.”
“He has completely divided opinion, and he knew he would divide opinion by doing this, but all of his assistants would have scrutinized it,” Forsyth said.
“And I have no doubt that his father, the King, would have known it too, even though he is working behind the scenes,” he continued.
Warning the Prince, the expert said there is a reason the royal family stays out of politics and that William's “dipping his toes” into controversial issues “will cause offence.”

“He's probably offended and obviously taken some fans out of this as well,” Forsyth said, adding that anything William does “will be put under a microscope.”
This comes amid reports that William would soon become the next king of the United Kingdom alongside his wife, Kate Middleton, as queen, as King Charles needs to focus on his health following his cancer diagnosis.
