Prince William plans to do away with the Queen’s top rule in a revolution to modernise the monarchy, according to sources.
The “never complain, never explain” policy was first adopted by the Queen mother and refers to the Firm’s traditionally stoic approach to public relations.
However, following his Caribbean tour, Prince William released an unprecedented statement about the future governance of Commonwealth nations.
One source said: “The prince believes that for him, the days of ‘never complain’ are over.
“He definitely won’t be speaking out regularly but believes if the monarchy has something to say, then it should say it.
“He’s not being critical of the Queen, far from it. He admires her absolutely and has learnt so much from her.
“But he is looking ahead to how things will be in 40 years’ time. He wants the monarchy to continue to be a unifying force, to bridge the gap.
“He listens to people, he really does, and has got a very clear vision for the future.
“He’s very alive to what is modern and relevant and is very thoughtful. He wants to take his grandmother’s success and build on it, his way.”
