King Charles will have to rely on Prince William and Princess Kate more, as he is “building a bridge” to their monarchy, a royal expert has claimed.

Former royal butler Paul Burrell spoke about the future of the monarchy and said the Prince and Princess of Wales will be introduced to more public engagements over time before William “shakes things up” during his reign.

He said, speaking on behalf of Slingo: “I think the King and Queen are going to rely on William and Kate more and more as time goes by.

“I think they will be introduced to more public engagements, representing the King and Queen on more overseas tours.”

The former royal butler explained whilst the King was building “a bridge between his mother’s monarchy and his”, in essence, “he was building a bridge to William and Kate’s monarchy.”

He added: “Over the years we will see them become more high profile and doing more when the King and Queen don’t want to.

“It’s a natural progression, it’s a learning curve for William and Kate to get a hold of the reins of monarchy before they become King and Queen.

“They are apprentices in the firm who need to learn how to handle this when it comes their way.

“It’s an almighty responsibility when it does come their way.”

Burrel explained that William will “shake things up” during his reign and get to the “bottom of the heart of monarchy” as he’s a “radical thinker”.

He said: “The King’s monarchy is very civil service top heavy. It’s very administrative. I think William will slash that and cut it all back.”
