Prince William Seizes More Power as He Nears Royal Ascension
Prince William is reportedly flexing his royal muscles as he edges closer to inheriting the throne from his father, King Charles, who is currently undergoing cancer treatment. The 42-year-old Prince of Wales is “seizing” more power, according to a new report, and is putting his foot down on several key decisions about the Firm’s long-term future.
Among the changes, William has allegedly declared Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, as well as his uncle Prince Andrew, personae non gratae within the royal family. Sources close to the palace claim that anyone who pushes back against William’s decisions will be “swiftly shown the door.”
William’s agenda reportedly includes improving the royal family’s public image, which has taken a hit in recent years. He is said to be looking to tighten the royal purse strings, cut unnecessary spending, and implement environmentally friendly policies. The prince is also allegedly pushing for his family members to adopt a more sustainable lifestyle and reduce their reliance on private flights.
Sources claim that William has “never been more influential” than he is now, and is not shying away from making decisions that he believes will benefit the Crown in the long run. His father, King Charles, has reportedly been delegating more responsibility to William, acknowledging that his time to rule will be sooner rather than later.
The Waleses have had a difficult 2024 after Kate Middleton, William’s wife, received her cancer diagnosis and underwent treatment. However, with her cancer diagnosis behind her, the couple has begun to resume their public duties, and the palace has kickstarted plans for William’s ascension to the throne.
