When Prince William becomes King, a royal expert claims that he will welcome a new dawn for the royal family, all while juggling his family responsibilities, centuries-long traditions and his own passion projects
Prince William has long been playing a pivotal role in keeping the royal family a modern institution, which will become even more important when he ascends to the throne.
For many years, William has been one of the most relatable members of the monarchy, spreading his time between his royal responsibilities, family duties and his own projects that he is passionate about.
But according to a royal expert, William’s determination to juggle his responsibilities will usher in a new age for the royal family when he becomes King. Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams believes that the future King’s relatability will help to ensure the monarchy is fit for service in the 21st century.
Richard said: “As heir to the throne, Prince William will inherit a role which he could be called upon to fill at any time. He has already established a reputation for diplomacy as the monarchy, both in the era of Queen Elizabeth and especially more recently in the unpredictable era of Donald Trump, is pivotal in Britain’s use of soft power.
“William also wants to change things and modernise aspects of the monarchy, whilst maintaining relevant traditions which are valuable such as the Opening of Parliament and Trooping the Colour.”
On top of taking on this balancing act, William will harness his resources to continue to spearhead campaigns and philanthropic efforts that he feels passionately about.
Richard said: “He has also inherited the Dukedom of Cornwall and plans to change the lives of its inhabitants where he can, especially in combating homelessness and having a positive impact on the lives of farmers.
“His promotion of environmental issues is more relatable than the campaigning, admirable though it has been, of his father, who has given so many dire forecasts about the effects of climate change.
“William’s Earthshot Prize emphasises the positive and the importance of tackling it with inventions and rewarding those who create them.”
Since he started attending royal engagements many years ago, William has long been considered a man of the people, happy to chat to locals about their concerns, and not afraid to get his hands dirty.
The future King has been seen participating in sports at school grounds with excited students, buying pints for sports fans in Wetherspoons and handing out bacon sandwiches during a breakfast for Army personnel and their families.
Richard said: “William’s more relaxed public appearances have delighted onlookers. His support of his beloved Aston Villa has led to numerous public appearances where his natural enthusiasm is on show.”
