Prince William has reportedly started to prove to all those involved that he will not longer be waiting on his brother Prince Harry it appears.
This has happened as a result of a new move by the heir of the Royal Family, and involves gathering potential senior members by relying on those who received more ‘private’ upbringings.
The reason for this is reportedly because the Royal Family stands at a crossroads, as revealed by British royals expert Hilary Fordwich.
She warned that while the prince is considering this approach, the decision rests solely in the hands of those members of the Firm, like kids of Prince Edwards, should they decide to “step up and garner public interest”.
However, pressure on them is also increasing to step into these roles, but in doing so they will be asked to “put aside their personal desires,” Ms Fordwich admitted.
This report follows a similar one from the Scottish Daily Express that highlighted how keen the future king is to give Lady Louise Windsor and James, Earl of Wessex, a ‘chance’ to become senior working members of the Firm.
According to Ms Fordwich “Both of Edward’s children have been somewhat reluctant royals as teenagers.”
“Their parents strived to ensure their children experience a normal childhood out of the public spotlight, which means they don’t have a track record of experience.”
Even “Prince Edward expressed a preference for his children to have more autonomy, as opposed to a traditional path… However, Prince William knows the monarchy must strike a balance between efficiency and meeting the public desire for the presence of royals.”
It is pertinent to mention that this decision goes against King Charles’ moves as King, for he planned on a ‘slimmed down monarchy’ when he took the throne.
However with the exit of the Sussexes and their children, alongside the public backlash received to Prince Andrew, not many young members remain.
Most of the active members currently include Princess Anne, Princess Kate, Prince William, their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, as well as of course Queen Camilla.
