Prince William to make major Royal Family change when he becomes King

Stay up to date with notifications from The IndependentNotifications can be managed in browser preferences.AllNewsSportCultureLifestylePrince William reportedly plans to introduce stricter rules on royal property when he becomes king, aiming to ensure the monarchy is "fit for purpose in the modern era" and examine its costs. His proposed changes include preventing non-working royals from living rent-free in palaces and banning the subletting of royal homes. This initiative follows a National Audit Office report that revealed Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was subletting three royal cottages for an estimated £180,000 annually while paying minimal rent himself. The report also highlighted that King Charles is covering the rent for his nieces, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, who receive significant discounts on their St James's Palace and Kensington Palace accommodations. William is said to be mindful of the monarchy's expenses and intends to be "hands-on" in restructuring it into a more streamlined organisation.
