Heir to the throne plans to break royal customs upheld by his father during historic coronation.
As King Charles continues his cancer treatment, Prince William is reportedly preparing for his reign with plans to overhaul key royal traditions. The Prince of Wales, next in line to the throne, is considering abolishing long-standing practices that have defined the monarchy for centuries.
Insiders reveal that William’s approach to matters of faith differs from his father’s, leading him to contemplate significant changes. One major reform under consideration is the removal of religious oaths from the coronation ceremony—a move that could lead to the disestablishment of the Church of England.
A source told Mail on Sunday, "William is exploring the idea of abolishing the Coronation’s religious oaths, which would sever the monarchy’s centuries-old connection to Christianity as the official state religion."
King Charles, during his own coronation, swore a solemn oath to uphold Protestantism and ensure the Protestant succession to the throne. If William follows through with his plans, it could bring significant challenges for both the monarchy and the Church of England, marking a profound shift in royal tradition.
