William is also looking forward to having his wife, Kate Middleton, join him on royal tours next year as he carves a new role at the heart of the monarchy. While his comments received positive coverage from several media outlets, a few people took this as a harsh comment on King Charles’ way of running things. The CEO of anti-monarchy group Republic, Graham Smith dismissed Prince William’s efforts and called him lazy. He also questioned the need for royal titles and public funding in the light of Harry leaving the royal fold.
