"C-word” William? Photog claims fiery prince tells him to "f off"

Prince William’s carefully managed public image is taking a hit after a veteran royal photographer reportedly described the future king in blunt terms — including calling him the “c-word.” According to reporting picked up by columnist Daniela Elser, photographers swapping stories while waiting outside the Wales family’s Norfolk home claimed William can have a notoriously short fuse behind the scenes. One photographer allegedly said the prince regularly tells him to “f--- off,” painting a stark contrast to William’s polished public persona.

We also look at the online sniping over Princess Catherine’s latest Commonwealth Day outfit, criticism that her wardrobe is becoming “predictable,” the approval of a major 2,500-home Duchy of Cornwall housing development tied to William, and a surprising claim that palace aides once explored making Prince Harry the governor-general of Canada during the negotiations over his royal exit.

Plus: Meghan Markle’s pricey Sydney retreat sparks backlash online as critics question the cost of the duchess’s “ultimate girls’ weekend.”
