He leaves Charles in tears HUGGING his dear son, Prince Charles broke down in tears after William made a shocking confession.

"I won't be King -- and neither you nor anybody else can make me!" the defiant William told his devastated dad. What's more, the young heir to the throne stunned the entire royal family by declaring that the monarchy should be completely abolished.

"William told his father: 'I won't ever get used to living with people watching my every move and treating me like some museum piece. That's why I don't have the same aspirations as you.' "Charles told him, 'They're not aspirations so much as our destiny. I think you'll understand that eventually.' " That's when William exploded, said the palace insider.

"I've told you before and I'll tell you again. I won't be King and neither you nor anybody else can make me! "I want something that passes for a normal life. I want to live in the real world. Is that too much to ask? "In fact, if I had my way we'd just get rid of royalty altogether. It's outlived its usefulness. I wish you would realize that. "If you really think about it, royalty killed my mother. And I don't want it to wreck my life like it's wrecked so many others."
