Following reports that Prince William is planning a "radical departure" from his predecessors when he becomes king, a royal expert has celebrated the Prince of Wales's decision to focus on family. Princess Diana predicted the qualities that would serve her son well as monarch, and William has been working hard to silence critics calling him "work-shy." Along with his wife, Princess Kate—who is known to prioritize teaching her children "central values"—William is apparently "putting family first" as he approaches the throne.
In a profile of William written by Sky News's royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills, the journalist shared what she learned about the prince after shadowing him for a week. "The ornate robes of the Order of the Bath service...felt like a world away from the more modern image he wants to portray," Mills explained. "But as a man bestowed with so many traditional titles, it's a new role he's shaping for himself that is more intriguing—William, the quiet disruptor."
