Royal Author Says Prince William Finds One Royal Tradition "Slightly Embarrassing" and "Ridiculous"—And Could Be First to Go When He's King

Tradition is one of the first words that come to mind when thinking about the Royal Family, but as the times change, so does the monarchy. Queen Elizabeth introduced more modern practices during her reign, like a televised coronation, and in turn, King Charles has slimmed down the Royal Family as he's seen fit in the past three years. But when it comes time for Prince William to take the throne, he'll likely make even bigger changes, as he told Eugene Levy in an episode of Apple TV+'s The Reluctant Traveler.

"I think it’s safe to say that change is on my agenda. Change for good," the Prince of Wales told Levy. He added, "And I embrace that and I enjoy that change—I don’t fear it. That’s the bit that excites me, is the idea of being able to bring some change."
