Hah! That's a joke. If having the throne were really worth anything I have
little doubt William would gladly smother his father in bed some night,
perhaps with the connivance of a jealous servant no longer allowed access
to the royal bed. That is what royals do. Loyalty between father and son? 
Not if what is to be gained in worth the son getting rid of the father and
good riddance.

But of course the throne no longer begins to be worth much of anything. If
William finally takes the throne it won't be out of loyalty to his father,
but loyalty to the country, duty, dynasty, tradition, etc., etc.
