Prince Charles is the next in line for the throne, but after his reign, Prince William might have his chance.
Princess Catherine, his wife, effortlessly embodies the role of a queen consort.
A conversation with a friend of Prince William revealed concerns about the monarchy’s future.
It seems that Prince William is in full agreement with a more streamlined approach.
According to sources, he has no plans to invite anyone else to become working royals once the older family members retire.
There is even uncertainty about whether he wants his younger children to take on royal duties.
Prince William envisions a future for the monarchy inspired by small European monarchies.
The recent appearance of the Princess of Wales, who looked radiant despite undergoing cancer treatment, delighted royal fans.
She stood alongside Prince William and their three children at Buckingham Palace during Trooping the Colour, waving happily to the crowds below.
However, the king has decided to follow Queen Elizabeth‘s tradition of having only working royals on the balcony, leaving junior members out.
In the past, the balcony was filled with minor members of the royal family, celebrating together.
Now, the decision to limit the balcony appearance has raised concerns among royal experts.
The Duke of Kent, who would have been accompanied by his family in the past, appeared alone on the balcony.
The king’s choice to maintain this scaled-down approach has sparked worries among experts.
The royal family believes it is time to reconsider this policy and include more family members in public appearances.
However, there are no current plans to change this practice.
With only a few full-time royals under 60, including William and Catherine, the future of the monarchy’s workload distribution is uncertain.
Originally, Harry and his wife were meant to share responsibilities with William and Catherine, but their departure has altered the plan.
To address this challenge, experts suggest that William should involve his cousins, such as Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, Lady Louise Windsor, and the Earl of Wessex, in royal duties.
The recent appearance of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie at a Buckingham Palace Garden Party has fueled speculation about their potential roles in supporting the royal family.
In light of unique circumstances, such as Princess Catherine focusing on her recovery from cancer, younger royals may need to step up.
When the Duke and Duchess of Sussex expressed their desire to step back from royal duties in 2020, Queen Elizabeth II emphasized the need for a clear stance on royal responsibilities.
As a result, any potential shift in duties for Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice would require a review of this stance.
The future of the monarchy hangs in the balance as Prince William navigates a new vision for the royal family.
