William is second in line to the throne after his father, Prince Charles and is unlikely to succeed to the throne until he is in his 60s. His younger brother, Prince Harry, is sixth in line to the throne, meaning that he is unlikely to ever become the monarch. Prince Harry made the decision to move away from royal life and step down from senior royal duties, alongside his wife Meghan Markle in 2020. The couple cited the British press’ treatment of Meghan as their reasoning for this decision. Harry and Meghan now live with their two children, Archie, 2 and Lillibet, 8 months in Montecito, California.

The two brothers now have dramatically different lives, with William playing a key role in the Royal Family and regularly attending royal engagements, and Harry aiming to become financially independent by trying out new ventures such as a Spotify podcast.

Graham Smith, CEO of Republic told Express.co.uk that he believes that other members of the Royal Family could follow in Harry’s footsteps, after seeing that the Prince is having a “better time” in the US.

He said that particularly William’s children will grow up being jealous of their cousins, due to the more freedoms they will have.

He said: “Charles has spent his entire life waiting to be King, William is going to be doing more or less the same.

“It’s likely that he will be in his 60s before he ascends to the throne.

“I think others will just look at it and think, well, is it really worth the effort and the scrutiny and the press intrusion and so on, when Harry has shown very clearly that you can go off and have a better time in America.

“I think that particularly William’s children will be looking at Harry’s kids and Harry and saying well, that looks like more fun.

“So what are we doing with this rather tedious existence?”

However, royal commentator, Richard Fitzwilliams disagrees with Mr Smith’s statements.

He told Express.co.uk that rather than “waiting to be King” their entire lives, Charles and William have created their “own roles” and are doing “important work”.

Mr Fitzwilliams added that Monarchy is a “calling”, not just a matter of “having a better time”. He said: “When Prince of Wales, Charles has created his own role, which has included his Trust, which has helped over 1 million disadvantaged young people. “William is doing important work for the environment with his Earthshot Prize and also for mental health and he and Catherine have an enormous international profile. “The Sussexes have made a different choice, but it really is far too early to say what choices their children will make.“Monarchy is also a calling not just a matter of having a “better time” and the sense of duty that so endeared George V1 to the nation especially during wartime and also the Queen over seven decades, is likely to continue as future generations inherit the throne.”
