Prince William and Kate Middleton stand united in their shared goal of modernizing the monarchy.

The Prince and Princess of Wales have, hence, occasionally strayed away from some of the stringent royal protocols in their bid to do the same.

For instance, they were not afraid to bend one during Donald Trump’s state banquet last week.

A sweet behind-the-scenes photo captured William and Middleton lovingly holding hands, breaking the late Queen Elizabeth’s no PDA rule at public events.

Prince William and Prince Harry, once inseparable, reportedly have not been on talking terms for over 2 years.

And in the eyes of some who knew Princess Diana well, the story might have been very different had she still been alive.

Paul Burrell, Diana’s former butler, has made no secret of his belief that Harry’s life choices, including his marriage to Meghan Markle, would have looked very different under the late Princess’s watchful eye.

In a recent interview, Burrell suggested that Diana would have steered Harry onto another path.

Prince William seems intent on avoiding the pitfalls that once ensnared his father.

While King Charles, as Prince of Wales, often found himself in the middle of controversy, William has taken a far more cautious route, rewriting several royal rules.

Royal author Valentine Low, in his new book, Power and Palace, argues this is no accident, as the heir apparent has studied his father’s missteps closely and is determined not to repeat them.

He intends to take a deliberate break from Charles’s more confrontational style when he was the Prince of Wales.
