Prince William is still years away from taking the throne, but he has a great role model to look to as he prepares for the transition: grandmother Queen Elizabeth!

While Prince Harry claimed that his family is "trapped" within the "system" of the royal family, experts believe that the Duke of Cambridge disagrees and is eager to take on the role of King one day.

"Harry is absolutely wrong," author Penny Juror told The Sun. "I don’t think William feels trapped at all. I think he absolutely gets what his destiny is and he is embracing it."

"He is modeling himself on his grandmother the Queen," she added.

Over the past several months, Harry has continued to shade the royal institution, claiming that even when he started struggling during his childhood, he was told to simply toughen up.

However, he believes that his family should've tried to break the cycle so that history wouldn't repeat itself.

"My father used to say to me when I was younger, ‘Well, it was like that for me, so it’s going to be like that for you,'" Harry revealed in the mental health docuseries The Me You Can't See. "That doesn’t make sense. Just because you suffered that doesn’t mean that your kids have to suffer, in fact quite the opposite. If you suffered, do everything you can to make sure that whatever negative experiences that you had you can make it right for your kids."

His words are said to have hurt his father, Prince Charles.

"Charles is boiling with anger and feels tortured by Harry with his constant digs," an insider spilled to Us Weekly. "He wishes he’d just let it drop."

The Queen is also upset by his public digs.

"If Harry knows that he's hurting his grandmother, why does he keep giving these interviews?" Today anchor Allison Langdon questioned last month. "He left the U.K. because he wanted to get away from the press and the scrutiny and yet he can't help being the headline."
