Prince William also plans a very different coronation for him as future King
Prince William will reportedly not follow in King Charles footsteps as Prince of Wales as he does not want to hold an investiture for his new role.
According to a report by Wales Online, royal expert Roya Nikkhah says, “Those close to him point to his decision not to hold an investiture as Prince of Wales as a sign of how William will continue to break with tradition as heir to the throne.”
The publication, citing a source close to the heir to throne,
said that the fact William was not having an investiture for Prince of Wales
meant that he was focused on leaving a legacy with communities not "ribbon
cutting".
The source told The Times, “You can see it in how he
has taken having an investiture off the table, and his thinking on how to
leave a legacy in communities rather than just going in [to] do ribbon
cutting.”
King Charles had bestowed the Prince of Wales title on
Prince William shortly after the death of Queen Elizabeth in September last
year.
Before Prince William, the Prince of Wales title was held by
King Charles.
Charles was 20 when he was crowned as Prince of
Wales at the investiture ceremony at Caernarfon Castle.
