The Prince and Princess of Wales' "days of lengthy tours are over" as the new era of the world's most famous family begins to take shape, according to a royal source.
Kate and William are expected to manage their packed diaries of attending royal engagements and trips whilst continuing their hard work in supporting King Charles as he changes the monarchy under his reign.
The King is planning to go on the largest ever-series of official royal functions throughout the UK, the Commonwealth and other nations across the globe to "extend a hand of friendship and support" from the British monarchy, but it seems Kate and William may have other priorities.
According to royal expert Jennie Bond, while Charles and Queen Camilla are set to visit the US, Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan and Bangladesh, William and Kate are likely to respect their children's school's schedules to ensure they can spend as much time with them as possible.
She told OK! that the couple will remain loyal to His Majesty but it is likely that they will want to be by their children's side more often as they grow up, the Express reports.
Ms Bond said: "William and Catherine are really the stars of the Royal Family these days. They have youth on their side and a good dusting of glamour surrounds them.
"They are also extremely popular both here and abroad. So there is no doubt that the foreign office will be calling on them to carry out some high-profile royal tours.
"But I think the days of lengthy tours, leaving the children to be looked after by nannies, are over. Largely, I think the school holidays will be respected, and future tours will be short and extremely busy."
The next few months are thought to be crucial for Charles as he outlines his hopes and ambitions for his time as King.
A royal source told The Mirror that he was eager to "hit the ground running in these crucial first few months and years of his reign".
They added: "He certainly wants to carry on the long-held mantra from his late mother of being seen to be believed, and is very keen to get out and meet as many people as possible."
Charles' decision to take on multiple major Commonwealth visits comes as republicanism throughout the realm is increasing, including inside the likes of Saint Nevis and Kitts.
A source said that the monarch is "acutely aware" of the dangers this poses on the monarchy, with many Commonwealth countries keen to see how well Barbados operates after leaving the realm.
Some sources have alleged to The Mirror that Charles might even pack in as many trips as his late mother Queen Elizabeth II managed to during the 1970s.
During that period Her Majesty made 52 Commonwealth visits, as well as 21 trips to other nations to celebrate her Silver Jubilee.
Prior to his Coronation last month, Charles undertook his first royal visit as King in Germany.
