Kate Middleton believes it is time for some changes and her husband is on the same page.
After battling cancer, completing chemo, and fighting off a scandalous disappearance and AI photo rumors, Kate Middleton has a new lease on life.
Princess Kate also has a new perspective. Like Elon Musk, the Republicans and some voters believed that the fat and waste in Washington, D.C., should be removed and replaced with policies that work for the people — Princess Kate and Prince William decided to cut down and challenge long-established traditions.
The future King and Queen of England believe that less fanfare and pageantry are needed in the monarchy.
They are not interested in spending British taxpayers’ money on fancy events. They prefer to focus on important causes and spotlight small businesses that uplift communities. This shift in focus is to create a more socially conscious monarchy.
Yes, they have billions in assets, castles, jewelry, and land, but they do not want to flaunt it. Instead, they are devoted servants to the people by adopting a more humbling lifestyle.
Prince William and Kate Middleton confirmed they are doing things their way by declining to appear at the Royal Family’s annual Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace.
According to The Telegraph, Princess Kate is not lured by the idea of dressing up for the cameras. The media outlet revealed: “The decision speaks volumes on two fronts. First, the Princess of Wales’ renewed priorities after her major surgery and chemotherapy this year. Being out in nature, cuddling her children, making memories. The lure of dressing up to brave the cameras and sit for formal lunch with her in-laws is not so strong in the wake of all the Princess has been through.”
Prince William has new priorities now that he knows his time as King might come sooner than expected. The outlet explained: “With a lifetime of duty ahead, he is working out for himself how and where to spread his energy. There are plenty of signs that he is committed to the role of heir to the throne, abandoning domestic plans in order to fly to Paris two weekends ago for the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral and a meeting with Donald Trump, the US president-elect. But when and where he has a choice, his priority is clear.”
Prince William and Kate Middleton decided to skip the event long ago. According to a Kensington Palace source who spoke to The Telegraph, they let King Charles III know they would prefer to focus their energy elsewhere.
However, not everyone is happy with King Charles’s acceptance of his son and daughter-in-law’s arrangement.
One source, a former courtier, told The Daily Beast: “It is another example of the couple’s growing confidence when it comes to challenging some long-established traditions which they are widely believed to consider tiresome. Charles would have liked them to be there, and the fact that he was either unwilling or unable to insist on it shows his inability to maintain family discipline. You can’t imagine anyone missing it when Prince Philip was around.”
It is a new era for the Waleses.
