[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]5. I thought he showed quite a lack of empathy to his brother. Like, could he really not understand the reaction to the wedding beard? It's so important to Harry but silly for William to be jealous of the same thing? There were so many scenes like this scattered throughout the book - Harry's emotions are proper and well contextualized but he failed to allow the other's emotions and humanity. [/b]

This is astute. I think this lack of empathy and myopic thinking reflects immature emotional development (which I don't really 'blame' him for) and is what is leading him to make some poor choices when it comes to his family and other public actions/words.[/quote]

He didn’t say William was silly for being jealous of the beard, he was mad that William tried to lord his “heir” role over Harry to force Harry to shave his beard simply because William was forced to shave his.  William was being petty. [/quote]

+1  There is not one instance where I feel sorry for William in this book (except for the passages about his feelings of loss on the death of his mother).  William gets to be King.  That's the prize he needs to keep his eye on.  Let Harry the Spare have his beard, and whatever uniforms he wants to wear, and whatever woman he wants to marry.  William needs to get a grip.
