Customers at London’s Borough Market most likely didn’t expect Prince William and Princess Kate to serve them their coffee on March 12, but for the Prince and Princess of Wales, it’s all part of their plan to make the monarchy “more relatable and personable.” Speaking to Marie Claire, royal editor and biographer Russell Myers says that the couple have a strong idea of how they “want to take” the Royal Family in the future—and it’s a long way off from how The Firm was run in the past.
Myers—whose new book William and Catherine, The Monarchy's New Era: The Inside Story, was released March 10—says that although Princess Kate didn’t grow up in the royal world, she “has taken an excellent approach to her life” as the future Queen.
