Prince William is praised for his simplicity by a celebrity stylist.

Dean Aslett, who once worked with the future King, reveals William kept it straight and simple during their day out shopping.

He recalled to the publication: “It started with a call from Special Branch. It was all very cloak and dagger. They called my home number I suppose to check I wasn’t a member of the IRA."

He continued: “There was nothing bling about anything William wanted. It was DVDs, fragrances, little trinkets. I was tickled by that because I was a Doctor Who fan, too. But you don’t think of The Queen watching it.”

William earlier revealed that he appreciates change in his life. Speaking to Schitt’s Creek star Eugene Levy after their interview for 'The Reluctant Traveller, the Prince of Wales said: "I think it's safe to say that change is on my agenda. 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."

This comes as Vanity Fair's Katie Nicholl revealed: “[King Charles] wouldn’t have William handling these important meetings, with Trump, Macron, or other world leaders, if Charles didn’t believe he was absolutely capable. William has proven himself to be a very capable international statesman.

"I asked an aide if William is ready should his time as King come sooner than expected. Their response was immediate. This person has known William for decades and said, ‘He’s absolutely ready'."
