Princess Diana made touching prediction about Prince William

Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond recently shared Princess Diana’s prediction about her eldest son, Prince William. Diana had once said, “William’s alright. The country is very lucky to have William.” According to Bond, Diana’s prediction has come true, as William’s informal, approachable style has won over the public. Bond explained how William often wears casual clothing and is known to take selfies with fans, making him relatable and popular. This resonates with the public, distinguishing him from previous generations. According to Statistica, William is currently the most popular royal, followed by his wife, Kate Middleton, and Princess Anne.

King Charles follows in popularity, while Prince Harry and Meghan Markle rank 10th and 11th, respectively. Meanwhile, there are reports that William plans to abandon the “streamlined monarchy” his father Charles has prioritized. Historically, royals have attended thousands of official events yearly, but William allegedly believes in a smaller core of royals—himself, Catherine, and their children. However, commentator Richard Eden noted that William may be starting to see the value in involving his cousins in the monarchy to justify the vast wealth and palaces of the royal family in the long run.
