Prince William Differs From King Charles in One Area, But Palace Source Says the Future King Will Be "Drawing a Line in the Sand" Soon

King Charles might not run the monarchy quite like his mother, Queen Elizabeth, but one thing he shares with the late Queen is a deep devotion to the Church of England. But while The King speaks openly about his faith, Prince William has never claimed to be interested in religion. Ahead of the new Archbishop of Canterbury, Dame Sarah Mullally, being installed this week, a palace source has said that the Prince of Wales wants to make sure his commitment to the Anglican church “is cleared up.”

“This week is an opportunity to be very clear in people’s minds, when he walks into Canterbury Cathedral, of where he stands,” a Kensington Palace insider told the Times. Although Prince William doesn't attend church every Sunday, he's said to want the public to know that he's dedicated to his future role as head of the church.
