Prince William’s Candid Media Shift Draws Praise After Brazil Interview

Royal commentators call the informal approach a more relatable way to reach wider audiences.

Overview

  • Jennie Bond says William’s turn to conversational interviews is a deliberate break from traditional royal sit‑downs and is working.
  • In a Brazilian TV interview with host Luciano Huck during his Earthshot Prize trip, William discussed telling his children about Princess Kate’s 2024 cancer diagnosis.
  • Bond argues that sharing family decisions, including the debate over when Prince George gets a phone, makes William appear more like everyday parents.
  • Reports cite a potential compromise for George with a basic ‘brick phone,’ reflecting the couple’s caution about smartphones and online risks.
  • Bond contrasts William’s method with past sit‑down interviews by Charles and Diana, which she described as disasters, and says the new style reaches multigenerational audiences.
