Prince William Maps Out 'Change for Good,' Signaling Measured Modernization of the Monarchy

Historians and palace sources say the plan reflects continuity with King Charles rather than a rebuke.

Overview

  • In a candid Apple TV+ conversation with Eugene Levy, William said "change is on my agenda" and framed his approach as updates that are not "overly radical."
  • A source with ties to the palace told People he intends to shape a more accessible, approachable institution with a strong focus on family life.
  • Experts quoted in multiple outlets emphasized that his remarks should not be seen as criticism of King Charles and noted the close relationship between father and son.
  • Coverage highlights early, low‑key shifts in his working style, including reports that Duchy of Cornwall staff no longer wear ties for his visits and a generally more casual tone.
  • Tabloid claims that William and the King are not speaking have circulated, but these reports are unverified and are downplayed by historians and palace‑connected sources.
