Plans are afoot at the palace to
pack off the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge
on a world tour. You may wonder so what is the fuss all about? Well, it’s not
something being done in the normal course of things. There is said to be a
reason behind the move.
Prince
Charles is believed to be resentful of the fact that the blue-eyed
couple is getting all the attention. (One can possibly believe that. Charles is
a Scorpion zodiac sign, who are known to be highly prone to jealousy and
insecurity.)
The Prince of Wales is apprehensive
that once Will and Kate have a baby, which could in all probably be by next
year, they will be even more in the spotlight. This in turn means Charles and
Camilla will be side-lined further. Something, the senior prince does not want
at any cost, as he is going to be the next King of England.
Hence, Prince Charles intends to
send the younger royals packing off to other parts of the world. He wants to
get to reclaim the spotlight in his homeland Britain, disclosed a Palace
insider. Subsequently, royal aides are planning out the itinerary for Will and
Kate with the view to keeping Charles in the forefront of public attention.
According to one Palace
insider Mark Leishman, Charles’ private secretary and Jamie
Lowther-Pinkerton, William’s right hand man and former SAS commander; are
discussing how to plan the lives of Prince Charles and Prince William, the two
future British kings.
As it is Prince William will soon
have to decide between his career as a search and rescue pilot in the RAF and
being a full time royal. In all probability he will opt for a royal role. Once
William, 30 leaves the services, he will be in a position to travel worldwide
representing Queen Elizabeth and Britain.
By all accounts, the savvy Prince
is set to overshadow his dad. He and Kate
Middleton are in-fact, already doing so. A Palace aide said: “Charles knows
he has no chance of competing with Kate and William, especially when they have
a baby… And so he wants to regain his No.1 status in the public eye as soon as
possible.”
Presently, the Queen has the
reins of the kingdom in her hands and Charles has time to plot his destiny. The
same insider said: “As the Queen is in good health he has to plan for the future.
They don’t want Charles eclipsed by his son.”
“The plan is when William is out
of uniform he could devote much of his time to the Commonwealth…. William loves
traveling. Kate would go with him and it would be the answer to the problem,”
surmised the royal insider.
It may be recalled that when
Princess Diana’s was alive, her popularity was at its peak And Prince Charles
was completely overshadowed by her. He must be thinking that now when it’s his
turn, he will have years of competition from the highly charismatic Will and
Kate and hence, the plan to keep the younger royals out of the way.
In Charles’ strategy, Leishman
and Lowther-Pinkerton, the two private secretaries are said to crucial to
ensure the success of the plan. Leishman, 50, is an ex-journalist and the
grandson of former BBC director general Lord Reith.
While Sandhurst-trained
51-year-old Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, takes care of the affairs of Princes
William and Harry and Kate Middleton. At the Wills and Kate wedding last year,
Lowther-Pinkerton’s son William, 10, participated as a page boy.
