Prince William has been urged to do one major thing when he takes on the future role as King. The 43-year-old has previously admitted that he will make “changes” to the Firm, without going into specific details about the decisions that he has planned.

Aside from the changes that he has in store, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond shares something that she believes would be a good change to make during William’s reign. Reflecting on William’s major initiative in regards to homelessness in the UK and beyond, she claims that the idea of him still keeping a host of homes would be “offensive” to what he campaigns about.

Writing in a piece for the i paper, Ms Bond shared: “Something that is beyond question, to my mind, is the need to dispense with the vast property portfolio that William will inherit.

“Nobody needs so many houses, castles and palaces. And it is particularly offensive when juxtaposed with William’s campaign to end homelessness.”

In a statement to William, she urged: “He will have to jettison or re-purpose these buildings.”

She concluded: “And so, far from being his undoing as some might suggest, careful modernisation of the monarchy stands every chance of making William a highly effective King for the 21st century.

“Monarchy is indeed an anachronism, but, in this country at least, set against the ever shifting background of poisonous politics, it is an anachronism that appears to work.”

Speaking in a interview on Eugene Levy’s Apple TV+ series, The Reluctant Traveler, William said: “I think it’s safe to say that change is on my agenda – change for good”.

He expressed that he embraces change and does not fear it, but rather is excited by the prospect of implementing it.

William recently moved into a new home in Windsor with his young family, Forest Lodge.
