William and Kate accused of 'not pulling weight' but are in 'difficult spot'
The Prince and Princess of Wales have been accused of "not pulling their weight" after being put in a "difficult position", sources have claimed. It's been over a year since the late Queen's death and the accession of King Charles, which brought with it William and Kate being created Prince and Princess of Wales. Now, as the dust begins to settle on a time of change, attentions have turned to the future.
And there are reports that the royals are planning a "soft diplomacy" blitz of overseas visits over the next two years in a bid to keep the Commonwealth "intact". However, sources have suggested that tensions have been brewing over what role William and Kate will play in these visits.

They are the future of the monarchy and are themselves senior members of the Royal Family." However, another source added that the couple are actually in a difficult spot as they juggle their royal duties alongside bringing up their children Prince George, 10, eight-year-old Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, five.
They added: "William and Kate have been put in a very difficult position of choosing between the right path for their family or the future of the monarchy. Both are very important to them, but they have decided to put their children first while they are so young."
It has been a busy few weeks for both William and Kate, carrying out a host of duties at home in the UK. Kate has been seen taking part in a variety of royal visits, which have seen her try out wheelchair rugby, chat to university students about their mental health and even cheering on England in the rugby World Cup.

That's because the three children are all on their autumn half-term holidays from school - and during school holidays, Kate often keeps her engagements to a minimum. The children have been off since Friday and have an impressive two weeks off school - all three return to class at Lambrook School on Monday, October 30.
It's unknown exactly what the Wales family will all be up to during George, Charlotte and Louis' holiday time - but it could be that future King George might use it as study time. It is understood he has exams in just a few week's time, with mum Kate not attending husband Prince William's Earthshot Prize Awards, to support her son.
Kate has attended every awards ceremony since they began two years ago but The Mirror revealed that she will not be travelling to Singapore with her husband for the 2023 event in November. Kensington Palace confirmed Kate's non-attendance with a royal source revealing why she will stay at home.
A senior source, confirming the Mirror's story, explained: "The Princess will not be attending. Prince George has exams that week and the Princess wants to be at home to support him." Kensington Palace has refused to comment on what exams the future king George, 10, will be taking.
However, the preliminary entrance exams for Eton College, known as ISEBs, occur at that time as the Earthshot Prize during the first week of November. Several other elite private schools also use the exams. George has been spotted visiting Eton, which his father William and uncle Prince Harry both attended and is widely expected to attend the school. He is currently a pupil at Lambrook School, along with his younger siblings Charlotte and Louis. Lambrook, however, only teaches students until age 13.
