Kate and William's genius plan to ensure Prince Louis' life is different from Harry and Andrew's

The Prince of Wales' modern approach to monarchy has been well-documented, and, according to royal author Robert Hardman, his most important task is to prepare Prince George for his future as a senior working royal, and later as King. In his biography, The Making of a King: King Charles III and the Modern Monarchy, Hardman argued that Prince William wants to ensure his heir receives the best training possible.

The Queen made a big change to Prince Louis' official name by changing an old rule set by King George V. William and Kate's third child, Prince Louis Arthur Charles, was born on April 23, 2018. His name is a popular one in the Royal Family, with both Prince William and Prince George having it as a middle name to honour Prince Charles' mentor, Lord Louis Mountbatten.

Kensington Palace stated at the time that the Princess of Wales will remain at the London Clinic to recover from her "planned abdominal surgery" for 10-14 days and is not expected to restart her official engagements until after Easter. Once the Princess leaves hospital, it is thought she will continue her recuperation at the family's Windsor home, Adelaide Cottage.

Within the Royal Family there are several specific rules which explain who is entitled to hold a prince or princess title. These date from Letters Patent by King George V in 1917, where he wrote that all the children of the sovereign, the male-line grandchildren and the Prince of Wales’s eldest son were all allowed to hold a princely style.

The Queen changed the name of William and Kate's third child Prince Louis after overturning a historic rule made by King George V.

told the Mirror on Saturday, “The King and the Princess of Wales have received support from Prince Harry and Meghan regarding their health. The Duke and Duchess contacted both parties in different ways to express their concern and best wishes.”The Post has contacted reps for Harry and Meghan, as well as Buckingham and Kensington Palace, for comment.

It’s been reported that small moves made by the monarchy last year will ensure that Prince Harry and Prince Andrew will not be able to step in to help as the King takes time out for a medical procedure.

King Charles III discreetly made a change to an act to prevent both Prince Andrew and Prince Harry from acting as substitutes for him when he took to the throne. The 75 year old monarch, who became King following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022, added both his sister, Princess Anne, and brother, Prince Edward, to the list of family members who can act for him in the Counsellors of State Act 2022.

Beef and The Bear, the shows that joined Succession in a three-way domination of Monday night’s Emmy Awards, have a surprising amount of shared DNA.

Following the revelation that the late Queen Elizabeth was left furious after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle publicly claimed they had her blessing to name their daughter Lilibet, an expert has explained why this insight proves the monarch was "exasperated" with the Sussexes. Robert Hardman's new biography, Charles III: New King, New Court.The Inside Story, serialised in the Daily Mail, reveals that one member of staff said that Queen Elizabeth was "as angry as I'd ever seen her" after the Sussexes' comments following Lilibet's birth in June 2021. Now, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond has opened up to OK! about the latest royal drama surrounding the pair's "bullish" behaviour which left the Queen "riled".

When it comes to travelling abroad, a number of rules exist to protect The King and other members of his family when they fly overseas and some of them are unbelievable. Whether it is bringing their own alcohol for fear of poisoning or not allowing two or more heirs to the throne to travel in the same plane - all the rules are in place for a reason.There is another important royal custom which has been bought in after a previous experience left the late Queen unprepared for her monumental return to the UK. This rule now affects every member of the Royal Family whenever they travel abroad so that a similar situation doesn't arise.

The late Queen Elizabeth was reportedly furious after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle publicly claimed the monarch had given her blessing to name their daughter Lilibet, a new book sensationally reveals. Robert Hardman's new biography, Charles III: New King, New Court.The Inside Story, serialised in the Daily Mail, reveals that one member of staff said that Queen Elizabeth was "as angry as I'd ever seen her" after the Sussexes' comments following Lilibet's birth in June 2021.

Kate Middleton was left feeling "humiliated" and says Prince William treated her "like a doormat" while hanging out with other girls at clubs when they took a break from their relationship, proving even the Royals can have ups and downs.

One of Jeffrey Epstein‘s victims, Virginia Giuffre, is saying he paid her a large sum to have sex with Prince Andrew.

The Royal Family welcomed back Sarah Ferguson to one of their most significant occasions, suggesting that "all is not lost" with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle amid the rift, a royal expert said. On Christmas Day 2023, the Duchess of York joined her ex-husband, Prince Andrew, their two daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie along with other members of the Royal Family at Sandringham.

Kate Middleton married into the Royal Family in 2011, but she was introduced as a public figure long before that, with her and Prince William beginning their relationship in 2003. Kate, 41, was just 22 years old when she was thrust into the spotlight due to her romance with William, 41, and was understandably nervous, but over the years she's noticeably grown in confidence. Ahead of the Princess' 42nd birthday on 9 January, body language expert Darren Stanton has analysed Kate's confidence and how she's flourished as a member of the Royal Family.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's plans for redemption in 2024 have been ruined, according to one royal author, after they decided to spend Christmas in California, rather than with the other Royals at Sandringham. It comes after a rather mixed year for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, with Prince Harry's memoir Spare becoming the fastest selling non-fiction book in the UK since records began.

Catherine, Princess of Wales (aka Kate Middleton) often has to travel outside of the UK for longer trips – sometimes even overseas – for her job as a working senior member of the royal family.

A moment from Christmas in 2019 was said to have convinced Prince Harry and Meghan Markle that the "entire institution" was against them during their time working in the Royal Family due to an "unspoken code". While there were a number of causes which ultimately contributed to their departure, it has been said that one key moment was the "final straw" and "tipped them over the edge" to step back from their roles within The Firm.

Prince Louis made two big public appearances while celebrating Christmas with the rest of the Royal Family this year, and he did so wearing something that he has rarely been seen in up to this point – pants.
