Prince William has already started thinking about the tone of his own coronation just days after King Charles' ceremony, according to insiders.
The Prince of Wales is said to want his coronation to "look and feel different" to his father's two-hour service at Westminster Abbey - with a special emphasis on making it feel "modern" and "relevant".
A source close to the 40-year-old royal told The Times: "He is really thinking, how do we make his coronation feel most relevant in the future?
"He is mindful of the fact that in 20 years’ time, or whenever his time comes, how can the coronation be modern but also unifying to the nation and the Commonwealth? I think his coronation will look and feel quite different."
They also claimed that William would look to get rid of the "homage to the people" included in Charles's coronation on May 6, which was altered at the last minute when it proved to be controversial with sections of the public.
A source close to William said: “There is no way he will go down that route or anything like it.”
But they went on to say that William admired his father's decision to shake things up by changing major parts of the ceremony, and that this had led him to ponder what he would do when it was his turn.
Some more traditional parts of the historic service were kept on May 6, including William's "homage of the blood", where he knelt before his father and swore to be his "liege man of life and limb".
One of the other considerations would reportedly be the crown's relationship with the realms and Commonwealth by the time he ascended the throne.
The source added that the Prince wouldn't "be taking the filleting knife" to the order of events - but "will be checking if it is sharp."
Another insider said that while there was no "grand plan" at this stage, the Prince and his team were naturally "reflective" about the recent ceremony and that it was "extremely important to him that it evolves to be relevant whenever it happens.”
It comes as Prince William has reportedly decided not to have an investiture ceremony as Prince of Wales - in what could be a sign of his intentions to break with more traditions as he goes forward in royal life.
