Giovanna Fletcher Says Kate and William Would Be a ‘Welcome Change’ as William Signals Measured Reform

The podcaster’s fresh remarks highlight expectations of an empathetic, pragmatic approach to the crown.

Overview

  • Giovanna Fletcher, reflecting on her 2020 Happy Mum, Happy Baby interview with Catherine, said the Princess of Wales is "full of heart" and likely to be a queen who listens and leans in.
  • Fletcher told The Times she believes Catherine and Prince William will represent a "welcome change" when they become Queen and King.
  • Recent coverage pairs Fletcher’s testimony with Prince William’s public comments that "change is on my agenda" during his conversation with Eugene Levy on Apple’s The Reluctant Traveller.
  • William said he questions traditions to see if they are "fit for purpose" today and pledged to avoid a return to practices he and Prince Harry experienced growing up.
  • No specific reforms have been announced, with current reporting centering on personal impressions and William’s stated intent rather than confirmed institutional changes.
