Why Prince William has had to overcome a so-called 'allergy' to connect with royal fans

Prince William, Prince of Wales poses for selfies with members of the public as he visits Pret A Manger on September 07, 2023 in Bournemouth, England.

Prince William may be an elder millennial, but that doesn't mean he's completely on board with all of his generation's preferences.

Back in 2018, William joked to a royal fan: "I'm allergic to selfies," but since then he has indulged many well-wishers in posing with them. Knowing him, he was probably more self-conscious about his appearance than "allergic" to the concept of selfies more generally, anyway. Still, it very much looks like the Prince of Wales has got over this particular hang-up.
