Prince William is stepping into his future role with confidence, and his latest decision is raising eyebrows across the royal circle. The Prince of Wales recently made a major move by switching legal firms, cutting ties with Harbottle & Lewis, a firm that’s long been linked to the royal family, including King Charles himself.
Instead, William has hired Mishcon de Reya, the same law firm that famously represented Princess Diana during her high-profile divorce from Charles. According to the Daily Mail, this move signals a clear shift away from royal tradition and suggests William is ready to forge his way as the future King.
A source told In Touch that the decision had nothing to do with any personal issues in William’s marriage but is rather a reflection of his growing independence. “He’s forging his path,” the insider said. “He’s already made incremental changes at the palace for when he’s officially in charge.”
The report also mentioned that William is rethinking the way royal duties are carried out. That includes changes to the way extended royal tours are handled, as well as placing more emphasis on his family life, something that breaks from the more traditional approach many royals have followed for generations.
According to insiders, it is not just a simple legal shake-up. One source called the move “rather embarrassing for Charles,” pointing out that William’s choice of legal representation is more than a professional decision—it’s a clear symbol of where he stands and the direction he intends to take the monarchy.
The Prince of Wales, a father of three, is said to fully trust the legal team he’s brought on board. But beyond that, this decision seems to reflect something deeper—his desire to modernise the monarchy on his terms. “He’s flexing his independence by showing he’s willing to reject the status quo,” the source added.
William’s quiet but impactful decisions are painting a picture of a royal leader who isn’t afraid to evolve with the times. And while he’s not yet on the throne, it’s clear he’s already preparing for it in his own way—on his own terms.
