Prince William News: Is The Royal Complaining About His Job Again? [VIDEO]
It seems with Prince William he just can't win with his critics these days, no matter what he does or says. Kate Middleton's husband recently opened up about his day job as a role and what he thinks about all of those critics who have been calling him a 'reluctant' royal.
Both the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been getting a lot of flack from both the media and the public as they have been doing very little when it comes to their royal duties and obligations while Prince Harry in contrast has been very active while traveling the world, not only supporting his charities but also getting very hands-on with his work.
According to The Telegraph on Wednesday, Prince William opens up on whether or not he takes his royal role seriously as well as addressing his critics who think he needs to do more for the British royal family and the tax payers, who are ultimately supporting him.
He said, "To be honest, I'm going to get plenty of criticism over my lifetime and it's something that I don't completely ignore, but it's not something I take completely to heart. I'm concentrating very much on my role as a father - I'm a new father and I take my duties and my responsibilities to my family very seriously and I want to bring my children up as good people with the idea of service and duty to others as very important."
The Duke added, "But if I can't give my time to my children as well, I worry about their future. Plus... I find the air ambulance role very important to me; it's serving the community, working alongside extremely good professionals in the medical profession and then there's my royal responsibilities which I still keep going....And when the Queen decides she's going to hand down more responsibilities, I'll be the first person to accept them."
What's more, Prince William says he is well aware of his obligations as the future King of England, which he doesn't take as lightly as it seems to some people. Still, some critics can't help but wonder if he's just complaining about his job again.
He explained, "I take duty very seriously. I take my responsibilities very seriously. But it's about finding your own way at the right time and if you're not careful duty can weigh you down at a very early age. I think you have got to develop into the duty role."
