Prince William won’t let his children go through the same ‘trauma’ as he did, says a body language expert

Prince William has made a steadfast commitment to ensure his children do not experience the same challenges he faced while growing up in the royal family, influenced by his parents’ tumultuous marriage and the tragic loss of Princess Diana.

As a young boy at Ludgrove boarding school, William, along with his brother Prince Harry, was shielded from television due to the media’s incessant coverage of royal controversies, particularly surrounding their parents’ marital struggles and subsequent divorce. The impact of Diana’s untimely death further shaped their formative years under intense public scrutiny.

“The contrast between William’s choice of pose to illustrate his own view of fatherhood and the pose he chose to celebrate his own father’s role in his life could hardly be stronger, suggesting that although he appreciates the kind of upbringing he had, he is determined to forge something different for his own children,” she explained to Mirror.

Judi further added, “William continually shows how he uses lessons from his past to forge the kind of family unit he sees as more modern and more ideal. His understanding of duty and loyalty seems strong but he is clearly also determined to create a more casual and playful life for his own children than he or his father were allowed to enjoy.”

In adulthood, as Prince Harry distanced himself from the royal family, Prince William found himself navigating the weight of royal responsibilities, poised to eventually succeed his father, King Charles, as the future monarch.

Despite the pressures inherent in his role as the Prince of Wales, body language expert Judi James interprets William’s recent Father’s Day photograph as a poignant declaration of his determination to provide his own children with a vastly different upbringing.

“William’s choice of pose in a new Father’s Day snap suggests he is determined to give his children a very different life than the one he had growing up,” James observed.

Prince of Wales has been vocal about the importance of mental health and family stability, advocating for open conversations about emotional well-being. His approach to parenting reflects a deliberate effort to shield Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis from the intense public scrutiny that defined his own childhood
