Prince Charles upset Will and Kate 'overshadowing' other royals

While the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge wowed crowds and made international headlines as they toured Canada and made a quick stop in the U.S. earlier this month, sources say Prince Charles is not happy with the coverage.

The Sunday Mirror reports Charles is worried the media reports of his son and daughter-in-law, Will and Kate, will overshadow good work being done by other royals, such as himself.

Sources close to the 62-year-old heir to the throne said he was happy the royal couple was welcomed in Canada, but he was concerned about the coverage of their stops.

One source said Charles is now looking at a makeover to attract more fans.

Royal author Phil Dampier told the newspaper Charles likely feels "sidelined" by his son.

He said as soon as William got married, "People would be less interested in what (Charles) has to say on issues such as the environment and architecture if, on the same day, Kate is wearing a new dress."

The paper also reported there are concerns by government officials the young couple could also overshadow the Queen's Diamond Jubilee next year.

i agree!
Diana was attractive (and i respect her charity work),
but she was english artistocrat.
Princess Katherine can do elegant and classy
AND she can be “Kate” in a swimsuit.
(athletic legs!)

and i love that Kate was his tutor !!!
looks AND brains!

That’s just a bit of it. And they’ve had and got their mitts in far more than the Lockerbie deal. I will never understand why the Brits keep their monarchy.

1. She was in bed with the papparazi, always using them.
2. A person who thinks royalty and/or the royal family is an absurd tradition shouldn’t marry its heir.
3. This number of “she raised her boys to be down to earth” is straight our of some junky.woman’s magazine. Queen Elizabeth worked as a mechanic for the army.during WWII; you can’t get more down to earth than that.

You just don’t like her. She’s dead so whatever is is. I liked her and think she was good for her sons and did alright considering.
