Prince William and his wife Kate are being watched “very carefully” by the Queen and Prince Philip because of previous mistakes of other young royals, according to an author.
Tom Quinn, who wrote Kensington Palace: An Intimate Memoir told a Channel 5 documentary that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge would be watched because older royals are concerned about repetition of previous mistakes.
Quinn said: “The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, will be watching very carefully, especially given that younger royals in the past have got things very badly wrong and they don't want that to happen again.”
But he said the coronavirus pandemic had given the couple a chance to shine “in a very modern way”.

“Harry was publicly airing his dirty linen and I know he debated long and hard about what to do.”
Adding of the Sandringham summit, she said: “I’m not sure William had much choice in the matter, he is going to be king, even if it means the expense of his familial relationship.”
