The Crown's 'New Approach': Prince William and Kate Middleton Want an 'Openness' Style of Monarchy Focused on the 'Human Condition'

Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, are said to want a more 'open' and 'accessible' British royal family when they take the reins.

No more "Your Royal Highness."

Prince William and Kate, Princess of Wales, are reportedly set to radically transform the "very fabric" of Britain's ancient and renowned monarchy.

"I think the royal family are thinking a bit out of the box now," royal biographer Ian Lloyd told an outlet. "They are using a new approach and are more relaxed."

The expert also touched upon the Prince of Wales' recent trip to Germany to watch his beloved football team Aston Villa score a victory. "It's in that kind of tradition like the late Queen was with her racing. It's obviously something that matters an awful lot to him."

He added, "And to most people, football is an obviously leading sport. So it's uniting people, bringing people together. And he's doing what a lot of people would be doing at home, watching it on the TV. But it's a sort of bonding between the monarchy and people."

The future king is reportedly "coming after" the carriages, costumes, music and theater of the monarchy he will one day lead, a royal insider spilled. This led royal expert Richard Eden — who spoke to a friend of the future king in July — to ominously reveal: "What he told me left me worried about the future of the monarchy."

Eden shared his conversation with the Prince of Wales' pal while examining the "diminished" Buckingham Palace balcony royal appearances at Trooping the Colour since Elizabeth II died.

"When the older members of the family retire, His Royal Highness won't be inviting anyone else to become working royals," Eden added. "It remains to be seen if he will even want his two younger children to be working royals."

The British monarchy is one of only a handful left in the world that still maintains its opulent pomp, pageantry, medieval rituals and centuries-old court etiquette, which Eden suggests could be on its way out. The formerly grand royal courts throughout continental Europe long ago became known as "bicycling monarchies" thanks to efforts by governments to curtail royal grandiosity throughout the 20th century. "They process on bicycles — not in a carriage or Rolls-Royce," a former courtier shared.

Charles III is also seen as a "modernizing monarch," which is in direct contrast to his late mother's "business as usual" approach to monarchy, which retained all the theater. However, his heir was also predicted by many other insiders and analysts to eventually bring the "drastic" changes to the Crown.

"I think William is wonderful," an ex-palace insider shared in 2021. "He has the character to make an excellent British monarch, but he just doesn't understand what this monarchy is all about, and that is pageantry. Britons want the mystery and bowing and the gold carriages and fairy tale visuals although they will never admit to it."
