Marie Claire reported recently that the Princess of Wales was “open” to her eldest son (and future king) Prince George having an expanded role within the royal family—as is King Charles’ wish, a la George’s turn as a Page of Honor at his grandfather’s Coronation earlier this month. Kate’s one caveat? That she has a say in what those roles entail.
“Kate and Charles are very similar in a lot of ways: Both love what the monarchy stands for, feel a deep duty to Britain and the Commonwealth, and share the late Queen Elizabeth II’s belief that royals should ‘never complain, never explain,’” a source says, per OK. “However, they’re very different when it comes to how they think the monarchy should operate in 2023.”
