In the wake of Prince William of Britain’s call to “End the war and free the hostages”, he has been sharply criticized for making a ‘political statement’ unbecoming to a future monarch.
Royal biographer Tom Bower didn’t mince words when discussing the prince’s conduct, calling it a “distaster” and declaring “What on earth was he thinking when he got involved in such a delicate matter?” Bower said that the prince had neglected to mention either the growing antisemitism in Britain after the Hamas attacks or the Hamas threats to continue their war until the destruction of Israel, which make his call to end the war due to the “terrible human cost of the conflict” superfluous.
Bower even questioned the prince’s ability to maintain his father and grandmother’s diplomacy, stating that: ‘This is a departure from what we expected. We thought he was a serious person trying to learn the trade!’
Bower said that the prince had been ill-advised and added “I see the hand of Lord Cameron [British foreign secretary] in all this, who somehow shifted into telling Israel to end the war and seek peace. Cameron doesn’t understand that you can’t have peace with Hamas which is dedicated to the destruction of Israel.”
Other pro-Israel groups and individuals also criticized the prince’s statement that “too many people have been killed”, as if the number of people who have died can by itself defeat an implacable foe that seeks nothing less than the eradication of Israel. One of them told the prince that “You could end this horrendous war by tea-time.Tell your Qatar & Jordan royal family chums to release the hostages and STOP FUNDING TERRORISM AGAINST JEWS & ISRAEL.”

What made Queen Elizabeth II so great was her refusal to share any of her opinions. Any public statement was about encouraging the public, praising the public and hoping that Britain would remain a prosperous society. She knew that all her subjects had to be able to relate to her so she studiously stuck to positions that any normal person could connect with. That's why even die-hard republicans said "Yes, get rid of the monarchy... after the Queen passes on".
King Charles III had his moments before he became king but even then, it was on stuff that most people could get behind like the environment and nicer architecture. And since taking the throne, he has followed his mother's position.
William is going to have a hard time coming back from this.
For those who know why, and to what the extent, UK is collapsing and doomed, his pro-Hamas position is not a surprise.
Royal houses, due to their constant in-breeding, tend to have low IQ.
The best they can do, like Queen Elizabeth II, is to basically keep quiet.
Charles is a simpleton, but he did learn this from his mother.
So this Edward fellow had just to smile and keep his mouth shut and not to yak away as his silly brother Harry.
Guess what, Edward didn't manage to do even that.
His first public statement got him into deep trouble.
If he ever wants to become king, I sure hope someone tells him to shut up from now on.
William, not "Edward".
