Prince William seems to have worked out the whole plan, not only in the strategy of how he would rule, but also some important details of his coronation ceremony.
The Prince of Wales, who hinted at what to expect from his upcoming reign, is secretly checking things off his list of meaningful steps.
It is understood that King Charles has involved William in more decision-making, especially when it comes to major changes to the monarchy. William had been a quiet but significant presence when Charles made the landmark decision for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
Furthermore, King Charles is helping William with the transition, and this is evident in recent developments. The heir to the throne will next week attend the Archbishop of Canterbury’s ceremony.
Sources close to William have suggested that the reason this is a significant step is that Dame Sarah Mullally is likely to preside over his coronation and help prepare him for his role as Governor General, according to Sunday Times.
William’s aide revealed the royal had a “warm and meaningful” conversation and reflected on his “genuine interest” not only in the work of the church, but in its role as “a custodian of a distinctive and ancient English spiritual tradition that remains relevant in today’s life”.
A royal source previously shared that William plans to make his coronation fee “more relevant” and that the ceremony has been “modern but also unifying”.
Meanwhile, a source close to the new archbishop described Sarah as “really delighted” that Prince William and Princess Kate will attend her installation and it would be a “turn of the page” between Kensington Palace and Lambeth Palace.
