Prince William Is Going To Buck Tradition As The King

He’s going to do it his way, regardless of what anyone has to say about it. There’s a new report that suggests Prince William is planning a major change in royal tradition, despite what his father King Charles has to say about it. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.

Prince William Is Going To Buck Tradition As The King

Apparently, the Prince of Wales is set to take drastic measures after taking over the monarchy when his father passes away. At least, that’s how one royal expert puts it.

Prince William is refusing to wear a kilt when he becomes King of England simply because he hates it. However, it’s a tradition that King Charles has long kept up with on his end and would like for William to continue it as well.

But one source close to the situation says that Prince William would rather be seen dead in a kilt and that’s why he doesn’t want to wear one. His little brother Prince Harry feels the same way about it, too. At least that’s one thing they can agree on, right?

One source close to the situation even put it this way, “The Windsors observe a unique – if eccentric – set of house rules when it comes to how to dress in Scotland.”

“The men wear kilts, not just on official engagements but during their off-duty moments too. Even Princess Diana, no lover of things Scottish, used to display a gesture, such as a tam o’ shanter, to the delight of the Celtic fringe.”

What’s Next For Prince William?

But then again, there might be a good reason as to why Prince William simply doesn’t want to continue this tradition, even though King Charles would like to see him do it.

“Maybe the prince is worried about looking too old-fashioned or too formal, and wants to appear modern.”

So far Buckingham Palace has made no comments about the matter just yet.
