Prince William’s UK Patronages Are Worried About The Future

Prince William’s UK patronages are worried about the future. That’s because the Prince of Wales made an interesting comment in Singapore the other day when he said that he’s looking to step back from his royal engagements and public appearances and be more of a social leader.

This, of course, has prompted people to wonder if he’s looking to take a step back from his role within the monarchy, too. Here’s what you need to know.

Royal Family News – Prince William’s UK Patronages Are Worried About The Future

While speaking to reporters at the EarthShot Awards, the future King of England said, “I care about so many things and previously the family have been very much spotlighting brilliantly and going round and highlighting lots – I want to go a step further. I want to actually bring change and I want to bring people to the table who can do the change if I can’t do it. I think the thing that ties it all together for me is about social leadership.”

So, does this mean that Prince William is going to drop his patronages? Maybe. It goes without saying that many royal fans and critics alike sure did have a lot to say about the matter on social media.

Some even commented with, “I will say it again. He announced publicly that he will not work. I agree that with the charities having a royal patron that there is no guarantee their involvement helps and that’s because William and Kate are only there for photo ops,” along with, “The problem with William is that, as old as he is, his only goal in life is competing with Harry. Those buzz words mean nothing to him. Harry and Meghan are not only hard working and dynamic, but they truly believe in their causes.”

Another critic wrote, “William’s main problem is that he’s incurious. He keeps jumping from issue to issue with his PR team making new catchphrases as he goes. He would be better off just doing the bread and butter engagements ìnstead of trying to be a change agent.”
