A New Approach That’s Winning Public Support
Future King William is being praised for adopting a style that sets him apart from King Charles, helping him strengthen his connection with the public.
Since Catherine’s cancer diagnosis, the Prince of Wales has shown a more open and emotional side, speaking candidly in interviews about the difficult period his family is navigating.
In his most recent comments, William also touched on the pressures modern parents face while raising children. He mentioned their household’s no-phone policy for the children, noting how challenging it can be to balance boundaries with today’s digital world.
Royal expert Jennie Bond told the Mirror that William’s shift in communication marks a clear break from the past. She explained that securing a proper interview with a senior royal was once nearly impossible, and when Charles and Diana eventually gave sit-down interviews, the outcomes were far from ideal.
Bond said she understands why William is choosing a new method of engagement and believes “it’s working.” She praised his approach of making personal statements in his own way, which people find relatable. Many fathers, she added, are also trying to work out how to guide their families in a complicated world, making William’s honesty feel both timely and sincere.
