The Prince of Wales has indicated a preference for a monarchy with more working royals, in contrast to King Charles' plan for a more streamlined version. Royal historian Kelly Swaby highlighted William's recent inclusion of Princess Beatrice and Zara and Mike Tindall at a garden party in Buckingham Palace as a subtle acknowledgment of the need for more active members within the Royal Family.
Swaby noted that these individuals, while familiar with royal duties, had been relatively sidelined in recent years, suggesting that Prince William's actions reflect a desire to make the monarchy more relevant in today's world.
As King Charles has begun implementing changes, such as scaling back privileges for distant members of the royal family, Prince William has assumed greater responsibilities, particularly following his father's cancer diagnosis earlier this year.
The shift in approach from King Charles to Prince William signals a potential reversal of significant policy changes within the monarchy.
