Prince William’s plan for the future of monarchy revealed

Prince William has revealed that, upon becoming king, he intends to overhaul Buckingham Palace procedures to make the monarchy more relevant and impactful. He is focused on reviewing the institution’s cost and footprint, and is willing to dig into details and ask tough questions. While he has shown discomfort with traditional pageantry such as the carriage procession at Royal Ascot, he is also moving past the emotional fallout from his brother Harry’s memoir, adopting a calmer stance. Colleagues describe him as a stringent yet collaborative leader who is laser‑focused on results, willing to fire off numerous messages to staff and to shape the monarchy in his own way.
