William the Bold



Prince William: I’m not afraid of changing the monarchy


The Prince of Wales has said he is not afraid to question tradition to make sure the monarchy remains “fit for purpose”.

The Prince said it was “safe to say that change is on my agenda” when he became King, as he wanted to “impact people’s lives for the better”.

“The bit that excites me is the idea of being able to bring some change,” he said, warning that it was important not to get “too attached” to history and tradition.


Not an enviable position for him and there is no chance he'll manage to initiate positive change, whatever that might be. If the monarchy changes at all during his stint on the throne, it will almost certainly be changed for him, not by him.

As for wanting to “impact people’s lives for the better” he could begin by admitting that his main problem will be preventing his government from making things worse. From what we see now, this isn't going to happen.
