I'll change the monarchy when I'm king, says Prince William
BBC News ^ | 2 October 2025 | Daniela Relph

The Prince of Wales has said he will bring change to the monarchy when he is king, in an interview palace sources say is the most open Prince William has ever been.

The Prince was speaking to the actor Eugene Levy in Windsor, for the Apple TV+ show The Reluctant Traveller.

In a revealing conversation, the actor asked Prince William about his future role as King.

"I think it's safe to say that change is on my agenda," he said. "Change for good, and I embrace that, I enjoy that change. 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."

The prince made the comments as he gave Levy a tour of Windsor Castle.

William arrived to meet the actor on an electric scooter that he said he used to get around the castle grounds.

He said he had been a fan of the American Pie series of films – the bawdy coming-of-age movies in which Levy played a long-suffering father.

During the tour of some of the castle's grandest rooms, Prince William also spoke about his family history.

"I think if you're not careful, history can be a real weight and an anchor around you, and you can feel suffocated by it, and restricted by it too much.

And I think it's important to live for the here and now."

Prince Willam stresses the importance of tradition but says he isn't afraid to ask questions to keep the monarchy relevant.

"There are points when you look at tradition and go, is that still fit for purpose today? Is that still the right thing to do? Are we still doing and having the most impact we could be having?

Queen E., Charlies mom, made a huge change when she decided to require that all crown incomes needed to pay income tax. That included crown pensions and royal incomes.

Hopefully he dissolves the Parliment and immediately move to save his kingdom by rapidly deporting the alien cultures.

My guess is that Prince William is going to be woke.

Obviously, we know that King Charles III is pretty woke. But at the same time, he is still maintaining the traditions of the Royal Family.

That would be good, I doubt he has the vision and fortitude.

I’m hoping the “change” is away from globalism?

See, that could be a good place to start... disestablishing the C of E which is long past is sell-by date.

He somehow needs to retrieve some of the lost monarchial powers. The monarchy needs to have enough power to restrain Parliament when it losses its mind and goes into democratic excess. Like its doing now!

Their current system is a case study in why unbridled democracy can be just as oppressive (maybe worse!) then autocracy.

I can’t see how it will happen.

We should care

Unless we think it’s such a great idea to hand over nuke launch codes to Islamo-fascists
