Why King Charles celebrates 2 birthdays — but Prince William won’t as monarch

Ever since his reign began last September, King Charles has introduced a handful of new modern proposals, but certainly nothing that has shaken the monarchy to its core. The most significant of these changes was to make both The Princess Royal and The Duke of Edinburgh Counsellors of State - thereby removing the need for Prince Andrew or Prince Harry to have to step in if the King was ever abroad or otherwise incapacitated.This approach of not drastically shifting how the Firm operates is something that former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond feels is entirely to the Monarch's credit.

For the outing, William wore a light blue button up shirt, under gray sport coat.

Since inheriting the Duchy land Prince William will now benefit financially from its surplus profits every year.

The King ordered staff in the palaces to turn the heating down as royal expenses soared to £107 million last year.

He also met with representatives from Old Spike Roastery, a coffee social enterprise that offers employment opportunities to those people who have experienced housing difficulties.The Prince was seen having a go at brewing his own coffee with people from the enterprise as he discussed their work in supporting people who've been homeless, as he launches his own project Homewards which aims to reduce the number of people in the UK without a secure place to live.
