Prince William Reveals Focus on Change in Candid Interview
In an unusually candid interview, Prince William shared that “change is on my agenda” as he looks toward the future of the royal family. Speaking with Canadian actor and comedian Eugene Levy for his Apple TV+ travel series, “The Reluctant Traveler,” William hinted at a shift in direction when he becomes king. While he didn’t specify any particular changes, he emphasized his excitement for change and the importance of tradition that still aligns with the times.
During a private tour of Windsor Castle with Levy, William expressed that his royal duties no longer overwhelm him, but family stress can be quite a lot to handle. Over a pint in a local pub, the Prince shared that despite facing challenging moments, he remains optimistic. He opened up about the difficulties of 2024, a year that tested him like never before amidst his wife Catherine and father King Charles’s cancer battles.
When it comes to their children — George, Charlotte, and Louis — William mentioned that they each have their unique ways of coping with their mother’s cancer, which is now in remission. He stressed the importance of providing them with security, safety, and open communication in their family in these challenging times.
Reflecting on his own childhood experiences with the media in the wake of Princess Diana’s passing, Prince William vowed to protect his family from the intrusive media attention he faced. He emphasized the damage this can do to family life and his commitment to shielding his loved ones from such burdens.
As William looks ahead to the future, it’s clear that he values tradition while also embracing the potential for positive change. His candid and genuine reflections offer a glimpse into the personal struggles and growth he has experienced within the royal family.
