Why Prince William ‘millennial’ self is good for the monarchy?

Prince William’s approach to monarchy has largely been shaped by his generation.

The Princess of Wales, who believes in modernity, wants to change the footprint of the Royal institution.

In new book titled William and Catherine: The Monarchy's New Era: The Inside Story, royal expert Russell Myers explained: "One former courtier gave an intriguing insight into the importance to the heir of modernizing the monarchy."

Myers adds the courtier told him: “It has guided his principles, perhaps even before university. Look at most millennials, their world has changed more rapidly than any other generation, birth of the internet, social media, everyone rushing around, the world is literally on fire every way you turn."

The former courtier continued: “In one way it's harder to be heard than ever and in another it's never been easier with everything at our disposal, so perhaps it's about balance. William and Catherine have been very good at that, taking their time, finding their feet on what matters to them."

The insider added: “They recognize their own foundations need to be rock solid before they can deliver for anyone else, much more so than anyone in the family before them."
