David Dimbleby, presenter of the BBC’s new series, What's the Monarchy For?, is worried about the British monarchy. “Declining support marks a problem,” he says in a BBC essay written ahead of the upcoming series. “I've spent much of my career commentating on royal occasions, and over the past two years I've been looking at the institution in close detail [...] trying to understand how it works and why it has had such a hold on Britain.”
Dimbleby believes that Prince William may be the solution to their problem. Citing Prince William’s appearance with Eugene Levy, and his arrival via e-scooter, Dimbleby praised “the image getting across, that William is just an ordinary Joe.”
