Prince William’s Sovereign Garden Party at Buckingham Palace gave royal fans a lot to delight over. From Zara Tindall’s stunning Laura Green dress and beautiful pink accessories and her £5.99 trick to protect her favourite shoes, to the meeting of royals we don’t usually see together, like Mike Tindall and Princess Eugenie, the event was a brilliant one.
But one royal expert believes the occasion was more than a one-off gathering of The Firm’s younger royals. According to Kelly Swaby, a royal expert and historian, it showed how, when he is King, Prince William plans to ‘make the monarchy more relevant’ by including the family’s younger members in more events.
I feel that it is a very subtle way of the Palace recognising that it needs more people involved. If you look at the history of the Royal Family it has always come through significant challenges and I feel that Prince William is trying to make the monarchy more relevant.”
It’s a big change from King Charles III’s planned approach, with the monarch long vowing to ‘slim down’ the monarchy, a plan his sister Princess Anne has never been on board with. And, while the line of succession is full of royals, the number of those working as part of the monarchy is much smaller.
Could William’s need of more working royals leave his children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis to take up royal duties earlier than expected?
We do see the children at all important royal events and, especially more so this year, they have attended more and more engagements alongside William and Kate Middleton – often stealing the show as they do so.
This is likely because many of the Royal Family’s most hard-working members are growing older and struggling to keep up with the demands of royal life, meaning we will likely be seeing the younger royals more and more.
