According to reports attributed to the National Enquirer and other insider sources, the future King is focused on reshaping the royal structure by reducing the number of working and semi-active royals. This comes after several years of turbulence for the British royal family, including the removal of Prince Andrew from public duties and ongoing tensions surrounding Prince Harry’s public interviews and memoir disclosures.
Earlier speculation also suggested that Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie may have already experienced a step back from senior royal involvement, with their reduced presence at key royal events, including Easter celebrations, being linked to broader internal changes within the family.
However, sources claim that William’s plans are not limited to these adjustments. Even with a smaller working monarchy than in previous decades, he reportedly believes there is still further restructuring needed to ensure efficiency and relevance.
One insider was quoted as saying that the Prince of Wales has “plenty more he has his eyes on” and is “not done yet,” indicating that additional changes could follow.
Despite the firm approach, the reported goal is said to be institutional stability rather than personal conflict. The aim is to ensure that only those actively contributing to royal duties remain within the core working structure of the monarchy.
According to the same source, Prince William is particularly focused on removing individuals who are perceived as benefiting from royal status without fulfilling meaningful responsibilities. At the same time, he is said to be building a smaller, more dependable team that aligns with his vision of a modern monarchy.
Among those reportedly viewed favorably are members of the family associated with Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie, especially James Mountbatten-Windsor, Earl of Wessex.
The source described him as someone raised with a grounded and disciplined approach, highlighting his education, low-profile public life, and perceived commitment to supporting the institution rather than relying on it.
Ultimately, insiders suggest that William’s approach is rooted in practicality. While he supports a “slimmed-down monarchy,” he is also said to prioritize having capable and reliable figures around him who can strengthen the Crown’s long-term future.
