Why Prince William’s Reign as King Will Look “Markedly Different” from Everything We’ve Seen Before from the Royal Family

ABERDEEN, SCOTLAND - MARCH 27: Prince William, Prince of Wales attends a graduation event marking the launch of Invisible Cities Aberdeen, a project formed in partnership with Homewards, a five-year programme that aims to end homelessness on March 27, 2025 in Aberdeen, Scotland. Homewards Fund will introduce its walking tours to the city, as well as rolling out to all six Homewards locations. (Photo by Jane Barlow - WPA Pool/Getty Images).

The royal family is an institution built on traditions, some of which date back centuries, but that doesn't mean those traditions can't change.

In fact, many of them probably will when Prince William becomes King, according to royal correspondent Rebecca English. In a new column for the Daily Mail, English writes that William has little patience for the justification "we've always done it this way" when it comes to continuing royal family traditions, so royal fans should be prepared for a "markedly different" reign when William takes the throne.
