Prince William has just been dealt another blow - this time he may not be able to forgive

After the sagas faced by the Royal Family this year, Prince William was probably hoping for a calmer second half of 2026. However, this has not been the case.

While he had Uncle Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor bring scandals to the doorsteps of the monarchy earlier this year, it seems he now has another uncle who has done the same this week.

That is his late mother's brother, Earl Charles Spencer, who had his book "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister" hit the shelves just days ago.

And, unsurprisingly, the book was loaded with criticisms towards the royals, as well as details about William's mother that the future king probably did not want to become public knowledge.

This has resulted in another tough week for William, with the Prince of Wales even being asked questions about his uncle's book as he turned up for a royal engagement this week.

It was very similar to the situation William faced earlier this year, when he found himself being asked questions about his other uncle Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

While the two situations are, of course, very different, the result of them is almost the same.

This is because both situations probably caused stress and tension for William, who is going to one day be head of the monarchy.

And while William will most likely never forgive his uncle Andrew for the scandals he has been involved in - even though he denies wrongdoing - I also think it is unlikely he will forgive his uncle Earl Spencer for this new book.

This is because not only did the book paint William's royal relatives, like King Charles, in a negative light, but it also contained a lot of content about Princess Diana's vulnerabilities.

Including the way in which she would sometimes contemplate "ending it all".

This is likely to have been painful for William to hear, especially as the book has also brought her 1997 car crash death back into the royal spotlight.

For William, it's been another tough week, thanks to another uncle who has brought the Royal Family into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
