Prince William Shares What He Hopes His Children Will Say About His Legacy
Prince William has opened up about how his children are his biggest source of inspiration.
Prince William has officially taken up the role of an editor and made it his own. The Prince of Wales guest-edited the latest issue of Country Life Magazine. William has worked sincerely hard over the last six months to put together the November 11th issue. This is a detailed, 300-page spread with important details and insight into the Waleses’ lives and passions. Beyond this, the Prince of Wales also appeared as the cover star for the 11th November issue, posing against a countryside fence with a warm smile.
This cover photo made the issue extra special. Inside the issue, William shared his optimistic view of the countryside and the importance of protecting it. He also shared how Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis mean the world to him and drive his commitment to creating a better future for them. While elaborating on his thoughts, he penned, “The places you love best are not the ones you preserve unchanged, but the ones you keep quietly improving.”
But that’s not all; the Prince of Wales further elaborated on how his children inspire him: “One day, George, Charlotte and Louis may ask me what I did to help communities thrive…we didn’t simply imagine a better future, we helped build it, so that someone else could build further still.” Furthermore, while discussing his time with the Prince, even the Editor-in-Chief of Country Life Magazine, Mark Hedges, described William as “a family man, football fan and with a weakness for a chocolate cake first served to him by his grandmother".
Beyond his role as a devoted father and husband, the Prince of Wales also opened up elsewhere in the magazine about another family close to his heart. This is the Aston Villa team. William has often spoken about his passion for sports, especially football, and his lifelong support for this team. His love for the team also shows a more personal side of the future King.
Ultimately, this shows that while his kids are his biggest source of inspiration, he also finds belonging and support in the football community. Over the years, William has remained closely invested in the club, celebrating its victories and standing by the team through its highs and lows, much like family.
