A
source close to The Firm claims
Prince William will "ruffle a few feathers" when he becomes the king of England. However, with King Charles III still alive, the father and son will remain on the same page about future changes.

During a conversation with
Eugene Levy for his Apple TV+ show,
The Reluctant Traveler,
Prince William got candid about moving the royal family in a new direction. "Change is on my agenda. Change for good — and I embrace that. I enjoy that change," he said. "I don't fear it. That's the bit that excites me: the idea of being able to bring some change — not overly radical, but changes that I think need to happen."

Carolyn Harris thinks there are already differences between how
Prince William and King Charles III perform their royal duties. "In his public comments,
Prince William has been a cautious Prince of Wales compared to his father, who openly shared his views on a wide variety of topics including organic farming and architecture," she
said. "While King Charles was an outspoken Prince of Wales who became a cautious innovator as king,
Prince William may follow an opposite trajectory, as a more cautious Prince of Wales who becomes a vocal advocate for change as king."

Craig Prescott, a royal expert and professor at Royal Holloway, University of London, believes
Prince William is serious about taking action to improve The Firm. "We have seen that he's interested in royal, without a capital 'r,' that he's interested in having an impact," he
said. "But this is the most explicit we have seen
Prince William in thinking about all of this. It's also the strongest indication that he will make changes rather than just float them as ideas. What we don't know is just how radical those changes will be."
