A recent video of the Royal Family has stirred conversation online after viewers noticed a “subtle behaviour” from Prince William.

On Tuesday (16 September), King Charles, Prince William, and Kate Middleton attended the funeral of the Duchess of Kent at Westminster Cathedral.

Buckingham Palace had previously confirmed that the duchess “passed away peacefully” on 4 September at her Kensington Palace home, surrounded by loved ones.

Tension Between Father and Son?

Despite the solemn occasion, many watchers felt William’s behaviour hinted at a frosty atmosphere between him and his father.

Prince Andrew also made a rare public appearance, briefly exchanging words with William during the service.

As heir to the throne, William has long been reported to feel a “great deal” of anxiety about the responsibilities that await him when the time comes to succeed Charles.

The Viral Observations

Footage of the royals at the service was shared on Reddit, where viewers quickly began commenting on William’s demeanour.

Several pointed out that he appeared to be holding his jaw tightly.

“William’s clenched jaw lol,” one person wrote. Another added: “Clench that jaw any tighter and you are gonna break a tooth William!”
