According to reporter
Christopher Wilson, Prince William could recruit
Prince Edward and
Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh's daughter,
Lady Louise Windsor in the future. "Dark-horse contender Lady Louise Windsor charms all who meet her and could be a decorative and useful asset to the royal team," he
said.

Prince Edward, the youngest child of Queen Elizabeth II, and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, raised Lady Louise Windsor and their son, James, Earl of Wessex, away from the public eye. "Sophie is vastly protective of her daughter and is just as likely to want her to stay out of the spotlight," Christopher Wilson said.

The slimmed-down monarchy is becoming a problem for Prince William. "Public demand for the attendance of a
royal to mark major and minor events up and down the country remains as high as ever," Christopher Wilson explained.

Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh and Prince Edward could assume larger working roles in order to help out Prince William and his father. "I think Prince William will be very grateful to have Edward and Sophie there when the time comes for him to be king," royal expert
Jennie Bond said. "With no
Prince Harry to lean on, he will appreciate the support of his uncle and aunt and be grateful that they are willing to bear their share of the considerable workload."

Prince Harry and
Meghan Markle left their royal duties and moved to America in 2020. Prince William and King Charles III
dismissed Prince Andrew and his ex-wife,
Sarah Ferguson, from their positions within The Firm due to their ties to
Jeffrey Epstein.
