Royal rift deepens: Prince William hires Diana’s divorce attorney to break from his father King Charles’s shadow

Prince William is planning a big and "radical" change for the future of the Royal Family. These changes will be very different from what King Charles or Queen Elizabeth did.

A royal insider told Mansey that William is shifting away from just attending charity events and shaking hands. Instead, he wants to start actual projects that make a real difference in communities, according to The Times report.

This approach is not the usual royal style, where they just go to events and give support. William recently made headlines for hiring his late mother Princess Diana’s divorce lawyers. He fired King Charles’ old legal team, Harbottle & Lewis, including lawyer Gerrard Tyrrell, who had worked with William since he became an adult. William now uses the law firm


Mishcon de Reya, which helped Princess Diana during her 1996 divorce, according to the report by SheKnows. This move is seen as part of William trying to separate himself from King Charles.

In April, William Hague, who works with William on wildlife protection projects, said that William hates long meetings and prefers real action over just talking. William reportedly doesn’t like the “ribbon-cutting” image of the Royal Family and wants to focus on real, visible change, as per the reports.
