Prince William has shared his vision for a more empathetic approach to the British monarchy.
Speaking during a high-profile visit to Cape Town, the future king revealed his intention to redefine the royal role to reflect his generation’s values. William emphasized his focus on empathy, collaboration, and philanthropy, saying he hopes to bring a “smaller ‘r’ in the royal” approach.
William noted that his leadership style will prioritize “helping people” and creating positive social impact. He pointed out that empathy is essential to making a difference and voiced his belief that the world needs more compassionate leaders.
The Prince of Wales highlighted his work on projects like Earthshot and Homewards, saying he and his wife, Kate Middleton, aim to drive meaningful change. He explained that his commitment to these causes aligns with his mission to “make lives better” through their royal roles.
William’s statements come as his father, King Charles, continues to face health challenges amid ongoing rumors about potential abdication.
