Prince Edward to represent King Charles at Jimmy Carter's funeral, leaving Prince William facing criticism

Former US president Jimmy Carter's funeral is scheduled for January 9, with several world leaders expected to attend. King Charles has chosen his brother, Prince Edward, to represent him at the event. This decision follows previous instances where Edward was sent on diplomatic missions, while Prince William has faced criticism for prioritizing family over royal duties. Supporters of King Charles have labeled William as "lazy" for his perceived lack of engagement. William's absence from Carter's funeral may lead to further backlash, as he continues to be compared unfavorably to his uncle's active role in royal engagements.
