Kinsley Schofield's Unfiltered triggered significant backlash from audiences as the GB News personality broadcast critiques of Prince William on her podcast.

The presenter was accompanied by the Daily Mail's showbusiness editor, Nicole Lampert, to examine Prince Harry's departure from the Royal Family's unwritten "never explain, never complain" principle.

This philosophy involved maintaining silence during public disputes instead of responding or justifying personal choices, something the Duke of Sussex rejected through a series of explosive disclosures in his autobiography and numerous interviews. This comes after Kate Middleton's 'quiet power move' alongside Prince William with the proposed India trip.

While Kinsley applauded Prince William and Princess Catherine for not "oversharing" private family matters with the public, Nicole commended the Princess of Wales for opening up about her cancer battle and for completing the Three Peaks Challenge for charity. She then provoked viewers after stating, "William seems to be quite cold, so maybe we want him to be a bit warmer."

The journalist went on, "I think when Harry was in the UK recently, we saw him preparing for the Invictus Games and joking around with people; we missed that joviality in the Royal Family."

This triggered substantial backlash, as audiences flooded the comments section with anger, with one asserting, "NO William is a strong, warm, loving man. Certainly NOT cold," reports the Express.

Another repeated, "William is NOT cold at all! ! ! He's a bit reserved & serious for good reason! Future King is not supposed to act like a court jester, FGS! ! ! (sic)"

"This guest is hopeless, Prince William is not cold! ! Does she even know who they are?" slammed a third.

Another chimed in, "William... cold? Are you serious? Bizarre opinion!"

One viewer commented, "William is not cold at all; he plays it well, hugs at the right time, and then becomes professional when he has to be."

A sixth person echoed, "William is not cold. He just acts in a dignified manner. The Queen taught him well. He is clearly a warm, loving human being - look at how the kids turned out as a result of his loving parent."

The debate comes just days after royal experts suggested the Prince of Wales could inherit a significant challenge involving his brother when he ascends to the throne.

Royal expert Robert Jobson, who previously appeared on Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered, claimed that when William takes the throne, he is going to be left to deal with his younger brother, who branded him his "arch-nemesis."

Jobson fumed, "Whatever happens here, it's going to be short-lived, because Harry has described William as his arch-nemesis. Well, William at some stage in the future, with the King living with cancer, is going to be in charge of the purse strings. He's going to be in charge of the whole train set."
