Prince William follows Princess Diana lead in forging new rules for monarchy

Prince William has decided to carry on his late mom Princess Diana’s legacy with modern royal approach as he forges new rules for monarchy.

According to a new report, the Prince of Wales is expected to diverge from his father King Charles's approach after taking over the throne from him.

Life & Style reported that one of the signs that he has different agenda in mind regarding ruling the monarchy was his decision to celebrate Easter with his wife Kate Middleton’s family.

“Celebrating Easter with the Middletons is a sign William is going his own way,” the source said. “He has made it no secret that he intends to do things differently when he’s king.”

“He wants less pomp and circumstance,” the publication noted.

Following in the former Princess of Wales’ lead, the Prince aims to be “more approachable as a monarch,” the source noted.

“Forget that he went to church with his in-laws — William visited a common pub with Carole last year while Kate was undergoing cancer treatments,” added the insider.

“He’s just more down-to-earth than his father ever was. William plans to continue doing philanthropic work that will make a difference in the world, and he wants to engage directly with the public and be relatable to his generation. If that means breaking from some traditions, so be it.”

Despite William’s different approach, the cancer-stricken monarch still thinks he will make an “excellent king.”

“It must bother him a little that his son prefers spending time with Kate’s side of the family — who are seemingly less stuffy and set in their ways — but Charles thinks William will make an excellent king,” they added.

“While he may not approve of everything his son is doing, like booking shorter royal visits overseas, Charles won’t stand in his way.”
