According to a source, the Prince of Wales has taken action to address “wasteful spending” and ensure that the Royal Family is more sustainable.

As he strives for sustainability, Prince William, who shares his father, King Charles’s ardent interest in the environment throughout his royal career, is rumored to have a fresh perspective on how the Firm’s spending is tracked.

“He [William] wants expenses to be closely monitored, and any fat trimmed straight away,” a royal source told In Touch magazine.

“He doesn’t want there to be any sense that special perks are being handed out to the Royals.”

The future King has also informed the other royals that they “need to get on board” with being as environmentally friendly as possible, the source continued.

They asserted: “He’s very concerned about the environment, so he’s making a lot of effort to be prominent in that regard and has issued this directive that the rest of the family must support being as environmentally friendly as possible.”

“Private flights and similar activities are discouraged.”

“The days of wasteful spending and overconsumption are ending now that William is at the helm.”

The Earthshot Prize, the Prince of Wales’s passion project, is one of the environmental and climate change initiatives he has supported.

He spoke candidly about his vision for the monarchy at the 2024 awards ceremony in South Africa.

“All I can say is that I’m trying to do it in a different way and for my generation,” William stated.

“And to give you more an understanding around it, I’m doing it with maybe a smaller R in the royal, if you like, that’s maybe a better way of saying it.”

He added: “It’s more about impact philanthropy, collaboration, convening, and helping people. And I’m also going to throw empathy in there as well, because I really care about what I do.”

“It helps impacts people’s lives. And I think we could do with some more empathetic leadership around the world.“
